"Thermodynamics is a funny subject. The first time you go through it, you don't understand it at all. The second time you go through it, you think you understand it, except for one or two small points. The third time you go through it, you know you dont understand it, but by that time you are so used to it, it dosen't bother you any more."
- Arnold Sommerfield (http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Sommerfeld.html) (Pioneer of partial differential equations)


TEST: The Expert System for Thermodynamics (http://eng.sdsu.edu/testcenter/Test/index.html)
By Subrata Bhattacharjee, SDSU

TEST Intro (http://eng.sdsu.edu/testcenter/index.html)

(this might be available as a Mirror (http://eng.sdsu.edu/testcenter/faq.html#mirror) for ProCooling, if you guys and they are interested, free to universities)

very cool (pun intended :p ) interactive tutorial\calculator

for the purposes of computer cooling
Daemons>Systems>OpenSystemDaemons>OpenSteady>
which is where it can split into various potentials dependent on your cooling method and complexity

Would be a great companion to Heat Transfer (http://web.mit.edu/lienhard/www/ahtt.html)
by John H. Lienhard IV, Professor, University of Houston and John H. Lienhard V, Professor, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

a free PDF download ;)

and for thermodynamics n00bs
(if there is such a thing on this forum :p )
