Explore the groundbreaking theories of John Tyndall in "Heat, Considered as a Mode of Motion." This edition, revised and expanded from the second London printing, incorporates Tyndall's latest research, providing a comprehensive look at his investigations into the nature of heat.

Tyndall, a towering figure in 19th-century science, elucidates his revolutionary ideas linking heat and motion, offering insights that reshaped the understanding of thermodynamics. This work remains a valuable resource for students and scholars interested in the history of physics and the development of thermal science.

Delve into the experiments and observations that underpinned Tyndall's conclusions, and trace the evolution of his thinking on this fundamental aspect of the physical world. This classic text offers a unique window into the scientific thought of the Victorian era.

Tribology and Dynamics of Engine and Powertrain: Fundamentals, Applications and Future Trends
Tribology, the science of friction, wear and lubrication, is one of the cornerstones of engineering's quest for efficiency and conservation of resources. Tribology and dynamics of engine and powertrain: fundamentals, applications and future trends provides an authoritative and comprehensive overview of the disciplines of dynamics and tribology using a multi-physics and multi-scale approach to improve automotive engine and powertrain technology.Part one reviews the fundamental aspects of the physics of motion, particularly the multi-body approach to multi-physics, multi-scale problem solving in tribology. Fundamental issues in tribology are then described in detail, from surface phenomena in thin-film tribology, to impact dynamics, fluid film and elastohydrodynamic lubrication means of measurement and evaluation. These chapters provide an understanding of the theoretical foundation for Part II which includes many aspects of the physics of motion at a multitude of interaction scales from large displacement dynamics to noise and vibration tribology, all of which affect engines and powertrains. Many chapters are contributed by well-established practitioners disseminating their valuable knowledge and expertise on specific engine and powertrain sub-systems. These include overviews of engine and powertrain issues, engine bearings, piston systems, valve trains, transmission and many aspects of drivetrain systems. The final part of the book considers the emerging areas of microengines and gears as well as nano-scale surface engineering.With its distinguished editor and international team of academic and industry contributors, Tribology and dynamics of engine and powertrain is a standard work for automotive engineers and all those researching NVH and tribological issues in engineering.
