Thermodynamics [5th ed.] : principles characterizing physical and chemical processes
By: Honig, Jurgen M.
Publisher: London Academic Press 2021Edition: 5th ed.Description: xiii, 477p.ISBN: 9780128219409.Subject(s): ThermodynamicsDDC classification: 541.369 | H757t5 Summary: Thermodynamics: Principles Characterizing Physical and Chemical Processes, Fifth Edition is an authoritative guide on the physical and chemical processes based on classical thermodynamic principles. Emphasis is placed on fundamental principles, with a combination of theory and practice that demonstrates their applications in a variety of disciplines. Revised and updated to include new material and novel formulations, this edition features a new chapter on algebraic power laws and Fisher information theory, along with detailed updates on irreversible phenomena, Landau theory, self-assembly, Caratheodory’s theorem, and the effects of externally applied fields. Drawing on the experience of its expert author, this book is a useful tool for both graduate students, professional chemists, and physicists who wish to acquire a more sophisticated overview of thermodynamics and related subject matter.| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
