Energy and Entropy (eBook, PDF)

Equilibrium to Stationary States

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book is an overview of classical thermodynamics, statistical thermodynamics, non-equilibrium and stationary state thermodynamics. This comprehensive work is the first book outside of specialized monographs to approach flow systems and irreversible thermodynamics for advanced undergraduate or introductory graduate courses in thermodynamics in chemistry, physics, biophysics, and engineering programs. Instructors for those courses will find in this book transparent models that clarify a broad range of difficult physical and mathematical concepts, including:

• Cooligative properties and solution thermodynamics
• Chemical potential for equilibrium systems
• Continuous energy systems
• Transition to non-equilibrium systems through statistical chemical kinetics
• Bose-Einstein statistics in conjunction with unimolecular reaction rate theory
• Irreversible thermodynamics with both time and spatial dependence
• Basic stationary state processes.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"Energy and Entropy offers an interesting approach to combining classical and statistical thermodynamics. ... Starzak (chemistry, SUNY Binghamton) frequently mixes statistical examples into the portions of the text that deal with classical thermodynamics. ... The end-of-chapter problems encourage students to apply what they have learned, with worked-out solutions provided at the end of the book. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty." (H. Giesche, Choice, Vol. 47 (11), August, 2010)
