This book is designed for use in an introductory course in
thermodynamics. It is aimed at students of Physics, Chemistry,
Materials Science, and Engineering. As an undergraduate text, it gives
a clear description of the theoretical framework of thermodynamics,
while providing specific examples of its use in a wide variety of
problems. These examples include topics that are atypical of
undergraduate texts, such as biological systems, atmospheric phenomena,
and polymers.
The narrative is infused with historical notes on the
characters who make up the story of thermodynamics, enlivening the
material while keeping the reader engaged.
Contents:
- Scope of Thermodynamics
- The Structure of Thermodynamics
- The Laws of Thermodynamics
- Intensive Variables
- Simple Systems
- Thermodynamic Potentials
- Maxwell Relations
- Engines, Hurricanes, and Athletes
- Stability of Thermodynamic Systems
- Phase Transitions
- Summary of Useful Results and Final Remarks
