Indisputably, this is a modern classic of science. Based on a
course of lectures delivered by the author at Columbia University,
the text is elementary in treatment and remarkable for its clarity
and organization. Although it is assumed that the reader is
familiar with the fundamental facts of thermometry and calorimetry,
no advanced mathematics beyond calculus is assumed.
Partial contents: thermodynamic systems, the first law of
thermodynamics (application, adiabatic transformations), the second
law of thermodynamics (Carnot cycle, absolute thermodynamic
temperature, thermal engines), the entropy (properties of cycles,
entropy of a system whose states can be represented on a (V, p)
diagram, Clapeyron and Van der Waals equations), thermodynamic
potentials (free energy, thermodynamic potential at constant
pressure, the phase rule, thermodynamics of the reversible electric
cell), gaseous reactions (chemical equilibria in gases, Van't Hoff
reaction box, another proof of the equation of gaseous equilibria,
principle of Le Chatelier), the thermodynamics of dilute solutions
(osmotic pressure, chemical equilibria in solutions, the
distribution of a solute between 2 phases vapor pressure, boiling
and freezing points), the entropy constant (Nernst's theorem,
thermal ionization of a gas, thermionic effect, etc.).
