Lecture Notes on Physical Mechanics (Collector's Edition)

Physical mechanics is an emerging discipline that starts from the microstructure of matter and provides methods for calculating the thermodynamic properties of media and materials used in engineering technology. Chapter 1 of the book introduces the content, viewpoints and methods of physical mechanics. Chapters 2, 3, and 4 introduce basic principles. Chapters 5 to 9 describe the thermodynamic properties of gases, solids, and liquids respectively, and explain the method of calculating macroscopic properties based on molecular structures. Chapters 10 to 13 introduce various transport processes, such as heat conduction, viscosity, diffusion, neutron moderation, and thermal radiation. The characteristic of this book is that it provides clear, specific and practical calculation methods, so that the thermodynamic properties of engineering media and materials can be determined without relying entirely on experiments.
