Simone Malacrida
Simone Malacrida (1977) Ha lavorato nel settore della ricerca (ottica e nanotecnologie) e, in seguito, in quello industriale-impiantistico, in particolare nel Power, nell'Oil&Gas e nelle infrastrutture. E' interessato a problematiche finanziarie ed energetiche. Ha pubblicato un primo ciclo di 21 libri principali (10 divulgativi e didattici e 11 romanzi) + 91 manuali didattici derivati. Un secondo ciclo, sempre di 21 libri, è in corso di elaborazione e sviluppo.

INTRODUCTION
In this handbook the physical sector related to thermodynamics is presented.
The fundamental laws are enunciated and the main parameters defined, such as the specific heats, the state functions and the thermodynamic coefficients.
The main thermodynamic cycles and phase transitions are also described, as well as the constitutive equations for heat transmission.
Finally, the kinetic theory of gases and the statistical vision deriving from thermodynamic concepts are presented.
What is presented in this book is generally carried out in Technical Physics courses at university level.
