Description

Market_Desc: This book is aimed at all science and engineering students taking a first course in thermodynamics, although in practice, it will appeal predominantly to physicists, material scientists and chemists, as engineers tend to have books with examples and applications drawn directly from their subject. Special Features: · Each chapter includes numerous carefully worked out examples and problems with answers at the back of the book.· Presents an applied approach rather than theoretical.· Required mathematics is left simple. About The Book: There is a need for a new thermodynamics textbook aimed at physicists, chemists and other scientists. All scientists and engineers have to take a course on thermodynamics in their first/second year. Generally they are firstly taught thermodynamics and then many of them, although not all, take a course on statistical mechanics. Consequently the market is large, yet Wiley have relatively few books on this subject, and nothing recent that is aimed at this introductory market.
