Clear treatment of systems and first and second laws of thermodynamics features informal language, vivid and lively examples, and fresh perspectives. Excellent supplement for undergraduate science or engineering class.
Presents essential ideas on critical phenomena developed over the last decade in simple, qualitative terms. This new edition maintains the simple structure of the first and puts new emphasis on pedagogical considerations.
This book is directed toward sophomore, junior, and senior students who have studied elementary physics and calculus and who are majoring in mechanical engineering; it serves as a convenient reference for other engineering disciplines as ...
The book presents a clear and simple exposition of thermodynamic principles to enable beginners to penetrate its fundamental ideas buried under a haze of abstractness and to appreciate the logical development of thermodynamic reasoning.
A Handbook Of Thermodynamics
Exceptionally articulate treatment of negative temperatures, relativistic effects, black hole thermodynamics, gravitational collapse, much more.
Gilbert Newton Lewis, Merle Randall, Kenneth S. Pitzer, Leo Brewer ... Waddington, Todd, and Huffman' measured the heat capacity of n-heptane at several pressures in a flow calorimeter and obtained the values of (óCP/óP)T shown in Table ...
Designed for junior-level engineering students, this text offers detailed coverage of classical thermodynamics and features extensive use of second law analyses, including availability and irreversibility. Special example problems address matters...
Unlike most textbooks, the first two chapters of this book introduce thermodynamic properties and laws with the ideal gas model, where equations can be engaged.
This third edition updates and expands on the first and second editions by focusing on the general balance equations for coupled processes of physical, chemical, and biological systems.
