Thermodynamics is a self-contained analysis of physical and chemical processes based on classical thermodynamic principles. Emphasis is placed on the fundamental principles with a combination of theory and practice, demonstrating their application to a variety of disciplines. This edition has been completely revised and updated to include new material and novel formulations, including new formulation and interpretation of The Second Law, discussions of heat vs. work, uniqueness of chemical potential, and construction of functions of state. This book will appeal to graduate students and professional chemists and physicists who wish to acquire a more sophisticated overview of thermodynamics and related subject matter.

Thermodynamics: Principles Characterizing Physical and Chemical Processes, Fourth Edition, is a self-contained analysis of physical and chemical processes based on classical thermodynamic principles. Emphasis is placed on the fundamental principles, with a combination of theory and practice, and demonstrating their application to a variety of disciplines. This edition has been revised and updated to include new material and novel formulations, including the early introduction of irreversible phenomena, and extensive discussions of critical phenomena, self-assembly, gas adsorption, electromagnetic field effects, electron interactions, and Onsager reciprocity conditions. This book will appeal to graduate students, and professional chemists and physicists looking to acquire a more sophisticated overview of thermodynamics and related subject matter.
