The book covers foundational principles and recent updates in the field of thermal science, presenting an authoritative overview of theoretical knowledge and practical applications across several fields. Since the first edition of this book was published in 2005, great progress has been made in the theoretical understanding - and subsequent ability to assess and apply - of the principles of thermal analysis, especially in thermodynamic intention with emphasis on temperature conditions. Features twenty-chapter contributions on 660 color pages provides an up-to-date cutting-edge themes involving the thermal analysis, thermotics, thermodynamics, thermal and applied solid-state physics, macro- and micro- dimensional approach to selected materials and their thermal properties.
