This edition of Thermodynamics is a thoroughly revised,
streamlined, and cor rected version of the book of the same title,
first published in 1975. It is intended for students, practicing
engineers, and specialists in materials sciences, metallur gical
engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, electrochemistry, and
related fields. The present edition contains many additional
numerical examples and prob lems. Greater emphasis is put on the
application of thermodynamics to chemical, materials, and
metallurgical problems. The SI system has been used through out the
textbook. In addition, a floppy disk for chemical equilibrium
calculations is enclosed inside the back cover. It contains the
data for the elements, oxides, halides, sulfides, and other
inorganic compounds. The subject material presented in chapters III
to XIV formed the basis of a thermodynamics course offered by one
of the authors (R.G. Reddy) for the last 14 years at the University
of Nevada, Reno. The subject matter in this book is based on a
minimum number of laws, axioms, and postulates. This procedure
avoids unnecessary repetitions, often encountered in books based on
historical sequence of development in thermodynamics. For example,
the Clapeyron equation, the van't Hoff equation, and the Nernst
distribution law all refer to the Gibbs energy changes of relevant
processes, and they need not be presented as radically different
relationships."
