Résumé : From the first steps in thermodynamics with Carnot in 1824 to today’s research advances in preparation for tomorrow. This book offers readers a broad overview of thermodynamics through 22 articles. It covers the historical aspects of thermodynamics as well as the future of our planet, the structures of the living world, promising extensions into the quantum world, and the potential of solar energy. It also looks at engines and materials, with an innovative project in powder metallurgy. There are many other gems to discover. It also discusses the teaching of thermodynamics and how to approach it in a fun way through comics. In short, this is a well-researched work on the scientific relevance of Carnot’s visionary message from 1824, opening the door to tomorrow!
