Chapter 1 Energy Accounting, Variables and Properties of Systems
... A thermodynamic system is a well-defined part of space or matter. It can be defined by a boundary or as a certain piece of matter. The word system is therefore used in a much more general sense than you may be used to. The system boundaries do not need to be physical boundaries, nor do they need to ...

... pure water and ice always has the same temperature provided it is at the same pressure. We can check with our thermometer, even if we still lack a scale, by observing that it always sets at the same level when in contact with the mixture. The same is true for a mixture of water and its vapor in equi ...

... Thermodynamics is a general theory; it deals with the properties of all kinds of matter where the behavior of a large number of microscopic particles (such as molecules, atoms, ions, etc.) determines the macroscopic properties. It is stated sometimes that this branch of science deals with the transf ...

Measuring kinetic energy changes in the mesoscale with low
... for any protocol where j and Tkin are changed in a controlled way, all the values of the energy exchanges are known and can be compared with the measurements we present below. Stochastic energetics4,24 provides the appropriate framework to measure the infinitesimal exchanges of work d0 W and heat d0 ...

Langevin Equation and Thermodynamics
... This symposium features the statistics, stochastics and phenomenological theories of diverse areas, and the present paper is also on these aspects, especially from the viewpoint of energy, which I tentatively call stochastic energetics. There are at least three levels of description of (classical) d ...
