Learn classical thermodynamics alongside statistical mechanics with
this fresh approach to the subjects. Molecular and macroscopic
principles are explained in an integrated, side-by-side manner to give
students a deep, intuitive understanding of thermodynamics and equip
them to tackle future research topics that focus on the nanoscale.
Entropy is introduced from the get-go, providing a clear explanation
of how the classical laws connect to the molecular principles, and
closing the gap between the atomic world and thermodynamics. Notation
is streamlined throughout, with a focus on general concepts and simple
models, for building basic physical intuition and gaining confidence
in problem analysis and model development. Well over 400 guided
end-of-chapter problems are included, addressing conceptual,
fundamental, and applied skill sets. Numerous worked examples are also
provided together with handy shaded boxes to emphasize key concepts,
making this the complete teaching package for students in chemical
engineering and the chemical sciences.
