Principles of Thermodynamics (Hardcover)

Ideal for one- or two-semester courses that assume elementary knowledge of calculus This text presents the fundamental concepts of thermodynamics and applies these to problems dealing with properties of materials, phase transformations, chemical reactions, solutions and surfaces.utilizing principles of statistical mechanics to illustrate key concepts from a microscopic perspective, as well as develop equations of kinetic theory. Discusses the second law of thermodynamics-considering entropy as the indicator of energy quality. Principles of Thermodynamics provides end-of-chapter question and problem sets, some using MathcadT and MathematicaT a useful glossary containing important symbols, definitions, and units appendices covering multivariable calculus and valuable numerical methods and examines the basic ideas of energy, entropy, and free energy chemical reactions neutral and ionic solutions and electrochemical systems phase diagrams for binary and ternary systems surface effects in single component and multicomponent systems the thermodynamics of steady-state systems polymers and nonequilibrium systems Principles of Thermodynamics is an authoritative text suitable for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in chemistry, physics, geosciences, and engineering.
