Thermodynamic models across extreme conditions

This monograph compares thermodynamic models used to describe equations of state, setting out the theoretical premises alongside the role of experiment. Its main subject is matter under high-energy-density conditions, including states studied in controlled terrestrial settings and those associated with astrophysical objects at different stages of evolution. The discussion also reaches ultra-extreme astrophysical and nuclear-physics applications, where the source describes effects such as strong gravitational and magnetic fields, radiation, particle transformations, neutronization, and quark deconfinement. The scope brings together model comparison and applications across laboratory, astrophysical, and nuclear contexts.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Specialists studying equations of state or high-energy-density physics
  • Senior students and postgraduate readers in relevant fields

Book overview

 

The monograph presents a comparative analysis of different thermodynamic models of the equations of state. The basic ideological premises of the theoretical methods and the experiment are considered. The principal attention is on the description of states that are of greatest interest for the physics of high energy concentrations which are either already attained or can be reached in the near future in controlled terrestrial conditions, or are realized in astrophysical objects at different stages of their evolution. Ultra-extreme astrophysical and nuclear-physical applications are also analyzed where the thermodynamics of matter is affected substantially by relativism, high-power gravitational and magnetic fields, thermal radiation, transformation of nuclear particles, nucleon neutronization, and quark deconfinement.

The book is intended for a wide range of specialists engaged in the study of the equations of state of matter and high energy density physics, as well as for senior students and postgraduates.
