Introductory Thermodynamics

More about the book

Fundamental concepts of classical thermodynamics are clearly presented, focusing on the four laws and their applications through 111 examples. Key topics include the definition of thermodynamic temperature, auxiliary functions, and partial molar quantities. The treatment of gaseous systems, phase equilibria, and chemical reactions highlights how these reactions can generate work. Additionally, the book covers ideal and non-ideal solutions, standard states, and activity coefficients, making it a valuable resource for students and professionals in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, and related fields.
