Details
"Principles of Thermodynamics" by Myron Kaufman is a physics book focused on Thermal Effects. Best for students, educators, and scientifically curious readers.
Ideal for one- or two-semester courses that assume elementary knowledge of calculus, this text presents the fundamental concepts of thermodynamics and applies these to problems dealing with properties of materials, phase transformations, chemical reactions, solutions, and surfaces. The author utilizes principles of statistical mechanics to illustrate key concepts from a microscopic perspective, as well as to develop equations of kinetic theory. The book provides end-of-chapter questions and problem sets, some using MathCAD(TM) and Mathematica(TM); a useful glossary containing important symbols, definitions, and units; and appendices covering multivariable calculus and valuable numerical methods.
