In this post, we will see the book Thermodynamics, Statistical Physics, and Kinetics by Yu. B. Rumer and M. Sh. Ryvkin
This book is intended for readers taking up the study of thermodynamics, statistical physics and kinetics. Accordingly, readers are assumed to have a knowledge of elementary physics, higher mathematics and quantum mechanics.
The sections marked by asterisks require a deeper knowledge and can be omitted on the first reading.
The book aims to gradually familiarize readers with methods used in thermodynamics, statistical physics and kinetics, to show how the concrete problems should be solved and to bring readers as soon as possible to a level which enables them to tackle more specialized books and papers. It has therefore proved necessary to include some matter, perhaps too simple for some, as well as problems that may be too difficult for others.
The book was translated from Russian by S. Semyonov and was published in 1980 by Mir.

In this post, we will see the two volume set of books titled Mathematical Analysis For Engineers Volumes 1 & 2 by M. Krasnov, A. Kiselev, G. Makarenko, E. Shikin .

This two-volume book was written for students of technical colleges who have had the usual mathematical training. It contains just enough information to continue with a wide variety of engineering disciplines. It covers analytic geometry and linear algebra, differential and integral calculus for functions of one and more variables, vector analysis, numerical and functional series (including Fourier series), ordinary differential equations, functions of a complex variable, Laplace and Fourier transforms, and equations of mathematical physics. This list itself demonstrates that the book covers the material for both a basic course in higher mathematics and several specialist sections that are important for applied problems. Hence, it may be used by a wide range of readers. Besides students in technical colleges and those starting a mathematics course, it may be found useful by engineers and scientists who wish to refresh their knowledge of some aspects of mathematics.
We tried to give the fundamental material concisely and without distracting detail. We concentrated on the presentation of the basic ideas of linear algebra and analysis to make it detailed and as comprehensible as possible. Mastery of these ideas is a requirement to understand the later material.The many examples also serve this aim. The examples were written to help students with the mechanics of solving typical problems. More than 600 diagrams are simple illustrations, clear enough to demonstrate the ideas and statements convincingly, and can be fairly easily reproduced.
In addition to the examples, we have included several carefully selected problems and exercises (around 1000) which should be of interest to those pursuing an independent mathematics course. The problems have the form of moderately sized theorems. They are very simple but are good training for those learning the fundamental ideas.
The book was translated from Russian by Alexander Yastrebov and was published by Mir in 1990.

In this post, we will see the book Steam Boilers Of Thermal Power Stations by M. I. Reznikov; Yu. M. Lipov.
This textbook has been written as a higher-education course in steam boilers for thermal power stations. It presents the theory of the processes which occur in steam boilers, designs of boilers for thermal power stations and steam generators for nuclear power stations, and the operating principles of boilers and steam generators.
The material in the book is based on four fundamental principles which are closely interrelated and reflect the current state of progress in science and technology: (1) the physico-chemical processes in the fuel, gas-air, and water-steam paths of modern high- capacity boilers; (2) the correlation between these physico-chemical processes and the design, layout and arrangement of steam boilers and their elements; (3) advanced technological processes and their technical and economical substantiation; and (4) the correlation between the processes occurring in boilers and the principles of boiler operation. This method of analysis encourages the optimal selection of technological processes, boiler designs, and operating regimes.
The book was translated from Russian by Vadim Afanasyev and was published by Mir in 1985.

In this post, we will see the book Astronomical Problems: Any Introductory Course in Astronomy by B. A. Vorontsov-Vel’yaminov. We had earlier seen his book Essays About The Universe.

AN IMPORTANT part in the teaching of any technical subject, in higher educational establishments as well as schools, is experience in the solution of problems. As well as providing practice in the methods of computation, it enables the teacher to follow the students’ progress both in comprehension and application of theory. The literature of astronomy is badly lacking in this respect, both in quantity and range of topics; and in fact the author is aware of the existence of only one textbook devoted to exercises in astronomy. This is “Astronomical Problems” ( Astronomicheskii zadachi), a textbook for young people by Professor N. P. Kamenschikov, published in 1923.
This textbook is intended for use in universities, teachers’ training colleges, and in school college preparatory or sixth forms. The syllabus covered by all three types of institution is much the same, the differences lying in the depth rather than the field of learning. For this reason the material in each chapter is
divided into two sections. The first section is elementary. The second section is more difficult, set approximately at the level of the teachers’ training colleges.In each section the problems are grouped into sub-topics, and set in order of increasing difficulty. In every chapter the problems are preceded by a summary of the theory and the formulae to be exercised, under headings I and II, applying to sections I and II, respectively. Problems are presented, requiring both exact and
approximate solutions, so that on occasion the same data may be repeated with varying degrees of accuracy.We have presented two, and exceptionally three, examples of the most typical problems, so that the teacher may use one or more for demonstration, leaving a similar exercise for the student. However, the author realizes that students become frustrated if presented with the same problem, under different formulations (e.g. Nos. 29 and 30), and the teacher is asked to note that this occurs in a number of places in the book.
In the preparation of this book, the author used the books referred to in the first Russian Edition of this work. As many of the problems are unoriginal, or “natural”, the source of a problem is given only in those cases where the problem seemed unusual. Many of the problems and exercises were devised by the
author, but only about 300 of these (marked with an asterisk*) appear to be unique in the literature. Ninety per cent of the problems borrowed by the author were originally published without answers.
The book was translated from Russian by P. M. Rabbitt, and was published in 1969.

Appendix 295
In this post, we will see the book Theory of Shock Waves and Introduction to Gas Dynamics Ya. B. Zeldovich.

Gas dynamics is defined as the science of motion at great pressure differentials and high velocities, velocity being measured in terms of the speed of sound. The book confines itself to specific phenomena of gas dynamics, i.e., those which have nc analogies in the mechanics of an incompressible liquid. Emphasis is placed on careful definition of the fundamentals of gas dynamics, fundamental laws, and methods of solving simplest problems, rather than an the computational methods
of gas dynamics or methods of numerical integration of complex two- and three-dimensional flows, etc. Attention is devoted to problems of flow around bodies moving at great speeds, motion of a gas in ducts such as nozzles and pipes, aid compressibility of the moving medium. The second main topic is shock waves considered under the theory of shock waves, shock wave laws, and the problem of the destructive effect of explosions and propagation of the explosion on the explosive substance (capable of chemical reaction). The author intends the text to also serve as an introduction to the theory of explosions.
The book was translated from Russian and was published in 1946.
