Synopsis

Extensively revised and up-dated, the 6th Edition of this classic work includes all the latest developments in experimental methods, new methods for estimating thermochemical data for both pure and alloy substances, new practical applications of thermochemical calculations, up-dated tables of critically evaluated thermochemical data for inorganic substances and binary alloy systems.
The basic principles of chemical thermodynamics are presented in a straightforward way with many examples of the use of thermochemical calculations in solving a variety of materials problems. Although thermodynamics is an established field, this 6th Edition presents the newest experimental methods and calculations of complex equilibria associated with the most recent materials and environmental considerations (e.g. environmental pollution). This text is suitable for graduates and undergraduates alike and provides basic information necessary for researchers to apply thermochemical principles and data to the optimization of materials and materials processes.

About this title

Review:

The issuance of the sixth edition of this classic reference is welcome news for the materials science community. it is indispensable both to current students and to those of us whose formal training in thermodynamics and thermochemistry occurred years ago.
