Branches of thermal physics and applications discussed
Abstract
The objects of study of thermal physics are discussed which became established as a scientific direction in the 1950s and in the 1960s. Phenomena are investigated which involve complex interactions of thermodynamic processes in all agregate states of matter. The following branches of thermal physics are briefly discussed and their applications are characterized: transport theory, and theory of transport and caloric properties of substances; heat engineering; mechanics of gas-liquid systems; nonequilibrium thermal gas dynamics; cryohydrodynamics; dynamics of thermal plasma.
