How are thermals in gliding related to thermodynamic adiabatic processes? In what way can the concept of entropy be used to analyze a solar power plant in the desert? This book presents thermodynamics with a constant focus on practical applications from everyday life and technology. A deep understanding of thermodynamic principles is skillfully conveyed by applying theory to real-world situations.
