Thermodynamics and an Introduction to Thermostatistics by Callen, Herbert B.

Description: About this productSynopsisThe only text to cover both thermodynamic and statistical mechanics--allowing students to fully master thermodynamics at the macroscopic level. Presents essential ideas on critical phenomena developed over the last decade in simple, qualitative terms. This new edition maintains the simple structure of the first and puts new emphasis on pedagogical considerations. Thermostatistics is incorporated into the text without eclipsing macroscopic thermodynamics, and is integrated into the conceptual framework of physical theory.Twenty-five years ago, the first edition of this text established a new conceptual structure for thermodynamics. Thermodynamics and an Introduction to Thermostatistics, 2nd Edition maintains this now classical structure. It includes a simple descriptive account of recent advances in critical phenomena and a fully compatible but logically distinct introduction to statistical mechanics, and concludes with an interpretive chapter on the conceptual roots of thermostatistics.Product IdentifiersISBN-100471862568ISBN-139780471862567eBay Product ID (ePID)1113630Key DetailsAuthorHerbert B.
