Second Edition
Developing microscopic statistical physics and macroscopic classical thermodynamic descriptions in tandem, this comprehensive introduction provides insight into basic concepts at an advanced undergraduate level. It introduces the concepts of temperature, internal energy, and entropy using ideal gases and ideal paramagnets as illustrative models. It also discusses quantum gases in depth and presents advanced topics, including the Legendre transform, the density matrix, chemical reactions, and irreversible thermodynamics. A solutions manual and figure slides are available upon qualifying course adoption.
Thermodynamics is an essential part of any physical science education, but is so full of pitfalls and subtleties that many students fail to completely understand it and instead get lost in a maze of partial differentials. In this bestselling book, the author emphasizes basic ideas and shows how the important thermodynamics results can be simply obtained from the fundamental relations. Topics emphasized include scales of temperature, availability, the degradation of energy, and lattice defects. The text contains ample illustrations and examples of applications of thermodynamics.

A look at the evolution of modern statistical thermodynamics, this book provides a detailed overview of the statistical principles used to obtain the physical and thermodynamic properties of macroscopic systems. Going further than many advanced textbooks, it includes Bose-Einstein, Fermi-Dirac statistics, and Lattice dynamics as well as applications in polaron theory, electronic gas in a magnetic field, thermodynamics of dielectrics, and magnetic materials in a magnetic field. Figure slides are available upon qualifying course adoption.

The use of inverse problems constitutes a new research paradigm in which groups of theoretical, computational, and experimental researchers synergistically interact to better understand the physical phenomena being studied. This book presents a comprehensive research-based survey of modern inverse techniques and their applications to engineering heat transfer. Written by topnotch contributors, the text provides a concise, single-source reference on the mathematical modeling, measurements, and solution of inverse problems in heat transfer. Figure slides are available upon qualifying course adoption.
This book illustrates the basic concepts of phenomenological thermodynamics and how to move from theory to practice by considering problems in the fields of thermodynamics and energy-systems analysis. Many subjects are handled from a energetics or exergetics angle: calorimeters, evaporators, condensers, flow meters, sub or supersonic nozzles, ejectors, compressors, pumps, turbines, combustion processes, heaters, smoke stacks, cooling towers, motors, turboreactors, heat pumps, air conditioning, thermo-electrical generators, energy storage, and more.
