内容简介 在线阅读本书

This is the first modern approach to thermodynamics written specifically for a first undergraduate course. It covers the fundamental formalism with some attention given to its history; describes basic applications of the formalism and continues with a number of additional applications that instructors can use according to their particular degree program – these chapters cover thermal radiation, biological systems, nano systems, classical stability theory, and principles of statistical thermodynamics. A wide range of examples appear throughout the book from biological, engineering and atmospheric systems.

Each chapter contains a bibliography and numerous examples and exercises.  An accompanying web site will provide students with information and links to data sources and other thermodynamics–related sites, and instructors will be able to download complete solutions to exercises.
作者简介 Dilip Kondepudi is Thurman D. Kitchin Professor of Chemistry, Wake Forest University, where his main research interest is chiral asymmetry in nature. He has, in addition, many years teaching experience to both under– and postgraduate students. he is the author, with the late Ilya Prigogine, of the highly successful book Modern thermodynamics: From Heat engines to Dissipative Structures.
媒体推荐 "This book is a refreshing presentation of thermodynamics beyond the traditional syllabi and is an appropriate starting point for those wishing to incorporate non-equilibrium aspects into their courses." (The Higher Education Academy Physical Sciences Centre, December 2008)
专业书评 This is the first modern approach to thermodynamics written specifically for an undergraduate course. It covers the fundamental modern formalism that relates rates of entropy production to irreversible processes, and its historical context; describes basic applications of the formalism and continues with a number of additional applications that instructors can use according to their particular degree program. These chapters cover thermal radiation, biological systems, small systems including nano systems, classical stability theory, and principles of statistical thermodynamics. A wide range of examples appear throughout the book showing the student a wide range of applications in biological, engineering and atmospheric systems.

Introduction to Modern Thermodynamics will prove invaluable to chemists, chemical engineers, physicists, material scientists, industrial and mechanical engineers taking a first course in thermodynamics. First modern approach to the subject written for undergraduates Suitable for a variety of degree programs with an extensive range of applications and examples drawn from biological, engineering, atmospheric and small systems including nano systems Includes Onsager reciprocal relations and dissipative structures. Numerous examples and exercises in each chapter Mathematic codes for solving complex problems Dedicated website for students and instructors
