He has also worked with Richard Lavine on foundations of classical thermodynamics.

Many results in classical thermodynamics are not easily applied to non-equilibrium systems.

For example, classical thermodynamics is a well-defined science in its own right.

The physical chemistry lectures did not reveal much insight either, they were limited just to classical thermodynamics.

There is no better example of art benefitting science - the right brain helping the left - than in classical thermodynamics.

Three of the four models detailed below derive the melting temperature in a similar form using different approaches based on classical thermodynamics.

In classical thermodynamics, a commonly considered model is the heat engine.

"Any reference to atomic constitution is foreign to classical thermodynamics."

As classical thermodynamics developed, the distinction between heat and work became less central.

The independent state variables of a small local region are only those of classical thermodynamics.
