This book summarizes the salient features of both equilibrium and
steady-state thermodynamic theory under a uniform postulatory
viewpoint. The emphasis is upon the formal aspects and logical
structure of thermodynamic theory, allowing it to emerge as a
coherent whole, unfettered by much of those details which - albeit
indispensable in practical applications - tend to obscure this
coherent structure. Largely because of this, statistical mechanics
and reference to molecular structure are, barring an occasional
allusion, avoided. The treatment is, therefore, 'classical', or -
using a perhaps more appropriate word - 'phenomenological'.
The volume almost exclusively deals with 'ideal' systems, given
that the treatment of 'real' systems properly belongs in the realm
of applied, rather than theoretical thermodynamics. For these
reasons, only selected ideal systems are covered. Ideal gases are
discussed extensively. The ideal solution is treated as an example
of a liquid system. The amorphous ideal rubber serves as an example
of a solid. The formalism developed in these sections is a model
for the treatment of other, more complex systems. This short
structural overview is written in the hope that a knowledge of
steady-state theory will deepen readers' understanding of
thermodynamics as a whole.
