In human thermodynamics, Hans Kreuzer (c.1945-) is a Canadian atmospheric physicist noted for his 2010 Thermodynamics textbook, co-written with Canadian physicist Isaac Tamblyn, which includes a chapter section on economic thermodynamics, the material of which is largely based on American physicist Wayne Saslow’s 1999 article “An Economic Analogy to Thermodynamics”. [1]
Overview
In 2010, Kreuzer, in his his §8.6: Thermodynamics in Economics, chapter subsection to his Thermodynamics, co-authored with Canadian physicist Isaac Tamblyn, seems to make a "guessed" economic formulation of utility of economics modeled on the internal energy U of thermodynamics, guided, it seems, by starting point the letter "U" (Utility and "U" symbol of internal energy the same) similarity, i.e. the so-called "letter rhyming derivation method"; an abstract section of which is as follows:
