Description
Chemical Thermodynamics: Principles and Applications presents a thorough development of the principles of thermodynamics--an
old
science to which the authors include the most modern applications, along with those of importance in developing the science and those
of
historical interest. The text is written in an informal but rigorous style, including ancedotes about some of the great thermodynamicists
(with some of whom the authors have had a personal relationship), and focuses on "real" systems in the discussion and figures, in contrast
to the generic examples that are often used in other textbooks.
The book provides a basic review of thermodynamic principles, equations,
and applications of broad interest. It covers the development of thermodynamics as one of the pre-eminent examples of an exact science.
A discussion of the standard state that emphasizes its significance and usefulness is also included, as well as a more rigorous and indepth
treatment of thermodynamics and discussions of a wider variety of applications than are found in more broadly based physical chemistry
undergraduate textbooks.
Combined with its companion book, Chemical Thermodynamics: Advanced Applications, the practicing
scientist will have a complete reference set detailing chemical thermodynamics.
Audience
Undergraduate and graduate level students studying chemical thermodynamics, and chemists and engineers who wish to strengthen their foundation in chemical thermodynamics.
