The first level (LV1) is those transformation-related theories for designing cloak-ing, concentrating, rotating, etc. Since the theory of transformation thermotics wasproposed for controlling steady and passive heat conduction in 2008 [1,2], extendedtransformation theories have been developed successively from steady and passiveto transient and active heat conduction [3]. Then, temperature-depe…
The laws of thermodynamics drive everything that happens in the universe. From the sudden expansion of a cloud of gas to the cooling of hot metal--everything is moved or restrained by four simple laws. Written by Peter Atkins, one of the world's leading authorities on thermodynamics, this powerful and compact introduction explains what these four laws are and how they work, using accessible lan…
