Einstein refrigerator. Saint P.

Paul Saint-a documentary director who devoted himself to the popularization of science, he met thermodynamics when he mastered engineering. Thermodynamics studies the properties of energy and entropy, which explains the behavior of many physical systems, from cells of living organisms to a black hole in the heart of our galaxy. Nevertheless, thermodynamics, as a rule, remains in the shadow of other sections of physics. In an effort to correct this injustice, Sen tells the history of this science and introduces readers to the works of a whole row of brilliant engineers, physicists, biologists, cosmologists and mathematicians, from Sadi Carno to Lord Kelvin, James Joule, Albert Einstein, Emmy Schering and Stephen Hawking.
