This book paves the way for a proper understanding of current and future issues on global warming, air pollution, depletion of natural resources, cyberattacks on smart grids, amongst others, by unifying various diverse disciplines of science to focus on a sustainable green society of the future.

Readers will find applications of science described through the practical use of mobilities, in this case, the electric vehicles.

The book could be used to teach and study on issues of global warming through the window of electric vehicles. The first three chapters can be used for teaching applications of mechanics, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics. Chapter 5 provides rudiments of control theory in anticipation of control theory through number theory and algebraic geometry. Chapters 6 and 7 contain aspects of climatology, global warming, and electric vehicles to green grid. This is the only such comprehensive introductory book in the market that provides the readers hints, suggestions and directions to ponder for a sustainable future through renewable sources.

Contents:

• From Mechanics to Quantum Information
• Thermodynamics in Engine Principles
• Fluid Dynamics: Navier–Stokes Equation
• Control Theory
• Aspects of Chemistry: Adaption Principle
• Climate Change and Carbon Circulation
• EVs in Green Grid
• Signal Restoration: From Paley-Wiener to Abel Continuity Theorem

Readership: Undergraduate and graduate students, and researchers interested in the practical use of mobilities for a sustaninable green society. Electric Vehicle;Control;Signal Restoration;Adaption Principle;Global Warming;Navier–Stokes Equation;Quantum and Classical Mechanics0 Key Features:

• It covers both the fundamentals and the practical aspects of applied fundamental sciences and so it can serve for multi-purpose use
• Skipping over the mathematics, the book gives the general reader an idea of the main issue in the global concerns and so is well suited for graduate students and researchers in academia, government laboratories, and industry
• It gives hints for further self-study and reading to confront the problems for the concerned reader
• The book shows the directions, from the author's viewpoint where the world is heading as far as global warning is concerned

Chapter 1

From mechanics to quantum information

Abstract

Cars are indispensable and convenient tools in modern society and have been used without much trouble since their invention some 150 years ago, save for the environmental pollution they have been causing. Like many other modern conveniences, almost no attention is paid to its working principle and people receive only vague images from the propaganda that the companies provide. But the car engines are far more crucial for grasping the mechanism that the human being has ever created than other black boxes including computers. In this chapter, we provide some basics on mechanics through the example of vehicle dynamics and explain the transition to quantum mechanics.

1.1Newtonian mechanics

Let

be the position vector of a particle which is a function in time t, i.e. all components are functions in t. Hence the velocity is

where we write

In many cases, one defines the acceleration as the derivative of the velocity with respect to time, i.e.

Newton’s three laws of motion are

1. The first law (law of inertia) states that if the net force (the vector sum of all forces acting on an object) is zero, then the velocity of the object is constant.

2. The second law states that if a body is accelerating, then there is a force on it which is directly proportional to the acceleration:

where m indicates the mass and F is the sum of all external forces acting on the body.

3. The third law (action-reaction law) states that if one object A exerts a force F_A (action) on a second object B, then B simultaneously exerts a force F_B (reaction) on A and

Newton’s second law of motion is a typical example of the 2...
