Thermodynamics of Materials: A Classical and Statistical Synthesis
No Customer Reviews
Thermodynamics of Materials A Classical and StatisticalSynthesis Designed as a reference resource for practicing professionals aswell as a text for advanced students, Thermodynamics of Materialsoffers a lucid presentation that ties together classical andstatistical treatments of thermodynamics within the framework ofmaterials science. Unlike most books in the field, it emphasizesthe natural connection between these two approaches, both as a wayof obtaining useful information about real systems, and as a way ofshowing the relations between the molecular-level properties ofsystems, and their properties on a macroscopic scale. In thisregard, the author's aim throughout the text is to introduce therigorous, general relations that arise from classicalthermodynamics, which are system independent, and then to usestatistical thermodynamic relations to calculate the expectedvalues of the macroscopic thermodynamic parameters of thesystems. Thermodynamics of Materials includes a review of classicalthermodynamics, an introduction to statistical thermodynamics, andnumerous practical problems in thermodynamics, especially thoseinvolving phase and chemical equilibrium. Handy appendices enhancethe value of this outstanding text.
