The Fuel Shortage and Thermodynamics--The Entropy Crisis.

A conference paper about the use of thermodynamics in explaining useful work or entropy and its application to fuel needs and fuel utilization. Topics discussed include the laws of thermodynamics based on the work produced from hydraulic engines, the relationship between useful work and fuel usage and the difference of available useful work from Gibbs free energy and enthalpy. A mathematical computation of the available useful work from oxidation of methylene (CH2) is described.
