Van Ness H.C. Understanding Thermodynamics

World Scientific Publishing Company, 2007. - 248 pages. In this unique book, Arieh Ben-Naim invites the reader to experience the joy of appreciating something which has eluded understanding for many years entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The book has a two-pronged message: first, that the Second Law is not infinitely incomprehensible as commonly stated in textbooks of thermodynamics but can, in fact, be comprehended through sheer co...

Prentice-Hall, 7-th printing, November, 1965, - 429p. (Анг. язык) This is an introductory text on the principles and applications of engineering thermodynamics and elementary heat transfer. The reader is presumed to have a knowledge of college physics and mathematics, including elementary calculus. With the exception of the chapter on heat transmission, the material in this book is derived directly from my earlier one, Mechanical Engineering The...

Springer, 2008, Pages: 404, ISBN 1402061234 The phase behaviour of materials and their thermodynamic properties are a central subject in all fields of materials research. The first Volume of the work, meant for graduate students in chemistry, geology, physics, and metallurgy, and their engineering counterparts, is split up in three levels, such that from level to level the portion and importance of thermodynamics and mathematics are increased....

Springer, 1983. - 134 Pages. Research in the past thirty years on the foundations of thermodynamics has led not only to a better understanding of the early developments of the subject but also to formulations of the First and Second Laws that permit both a rigorous analysis of the consequences of these laws and a substantial broadening of the class of systems to which the laws can fruitfully be applied. Moreover, modern formulations of the laws...

McGraw-Hill, 2009. - 352 pages. Now you can get much-needed relief from the pressure of learning the fundamentals of thermodynamics! This practical guide helps you truly comprehend this challenging engineering topic while sharpening your problem-solving skills. Written in an easy-to-follow format, Thermodynamics Demystified begins by reviewing basic principles and discussing the properties of pure substances. The book goes on to cover laws of t...

Cambridge University Press, 2007. 556 p. ISBN:0521865573 This introductory textbook for standard undergraduate courses in thermodynamics has been completely rewritten. Starting with an overview of important quantum behaviours, the book teaches students how to calculate probabilities, in order to provide a firm foundation for later chapters. It introduces the ideas of classical thermodynamics and explores them both in general and as they are app...

Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2011, 668 pages Graduate Texts in Physics This textbook explains completely the general and statistical thermodynamics. It begins with an introductory statistical mechanics course, deriving all the important formulae meticulously and explicitly, without mathematical short cuts. The main part of the book deals with the careful discussion of the concepts and laws of thermodynamics, van der Waals, Kelvin and Claudius theor...
