Explores the thermodynamics of polymer blends, phase diagrams, miscible blends, phase segregation, block copolymers, and applications in thermoplastic elastomers and nanotechnology.
Discusses losses in batteries, fuel cells, and electrolysis, as well as fuel cell electrical efficiency and a comparison between hydrogen and methane fuel cells.
Delves into the historical motivations behind the second law of thermodynamics, emphasizing limitations in heat-to-work conversion and the inevitability of irreversible processes.
