Where Can I Find a Review of Relativistic Thermodynamics?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the availability of resources, including books and research papers, on the topic of relativistic thermodynamics. Participants explore various aspects of the subject, including its application to nanosystems and heat radiation in relativistic contexts.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants inquire about the existence of books or reviews on relativistic thermodynamics.
  • One participant warns against a specific website, labeling it as unreliable, while suggesting alternative resources, including a link to a review article.
  • A participant mentions Bob Wald's book as a valuable resource and highlights ongoing research related to black hole thermodynamics and metrics from equilibrium thermodynamics.
  • Another participant seeks information on the applicability of relativistic thermodynamics to nanosystems and cosmological systems, asking for relevant research papers.
  • One participant requests insights into the relativistic aspects of heat radiation and examples of phenomena involving heat flow between bodies moving at relativistic speeds.
  • A participant references a section in Richard C. Tolman's book that covers relativistic thermodynamics, providing specific page numbers for further reading.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express a variety of inquiries and suggestions regarding resources on relativistic thermodynamics, but no consensus is reached on specific texts or the applicability of the theory to various systems.

Contextual Notes

Some discussions involve assumptions about the relevance of relativistic thermodynamics to nanosystems and cosmological contexts, which remain unresolved. The applicability of certain resources is also contingent on the participants' definitions and interpretations of relativistic thermodynamics.

Who May Find This Useful

Readers interested in relativistic thermodynamics, particularly in relation to nanosystems, black hole thermodynamics, and heat radiation in relativistic contexts, may find this discussion relevant.

Are there any relativistic thermodynamics book around or perhaps a physics review of this subject?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
If you do Google search, you will be offered a website linked to the 'Journal of Theoretics'. Don't go there, it is crackpot rubbish.

Try this

5 Relativistic Thermodynamics of Gases. 14-Field Theory5 Relativistic Thermodynamics of Gases. 14-Field Theory.

or this

Bob Wald's book "Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime and Black Hole Thermodynamics" would be a great place to start. There also seems to be a lot of activity at the moment into the application of the Ruppeiner and Weinhold metrics from standard equilibrium thermodynamics to black hole models - check the ArXiv for details.
 
Relativistic Thermodynamics.

Can anyone please tell me anything about Relativistic Thermodynamics in nanosystems??
I need a brief description of such realistic nanosystems where relativistic thermodynamics is applicable.
Is it also applicable for cosmological systems??
Are there any research papers on this??
 
Relativistic Radiation.

Thanks for ur answers..Now can anyone tell me anything about relativistic aspects of heat radiation,i.e. heat flow between any two bodies moving with relativistic velocities??Any real life examples of such phenomenon??Are there any research papers available on this topic...Thanking in advance..

There is a section in Relativity, Thermodynamics and Cosmology, by Richard C. Tolman, Dover Pub. It starts on page 118 and ends on page 164.

Best wishes
