Description

Pages

478

This text presents a broad introduction to thermodynamic thought and methodology, and applications to many branches of engineering and science. The simplicity and generalization of its approach, smooth melding of narrative and mathematics, and stress on the conjectural-deductive nature of thermodynamics, are all noteworthy aspects of this text. Within the framework of a simple approach, the book achieves reasonable depth and sophistication, and treats generalized Gibbs equations, Maxwell relations, chemical potential, partition functions, reciprocal relations, etc. This book is student-oriented, and tends to be a self-teaching text.
