Basic Thermodynamics by Gerald Carrington Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This is an introductory text on classical thermodynamics for undergraduates in physics, applied physics and engineering. The material is developed in systematic stages. Topics include the ideal gas, fluid processes, electric and magnetic media, solids, phase changes and chemical reactions. There are some 250 questions and many worked examples. Publisher Description It is well known that thermodynamics presents students with particular difficulties. They find the concepts evasive and the methods obscure. These problems arise because it is traditional to emphasize at the outset how general thermodynamics is. Unfortunately, when ideas are introduced in an unspecific context they fail to make contact with the student's experience - such ideas do not become part of the physical intuition of the student.Inthis introductory text the subject is developed in stages beginning with the basic notions, which are illustrated using an ideal gas as a model system. The generalization of these concepts is achievedfirst using the classical laws of thermodynamics and second using the formalism of Gibbs to provide a systematic introduction to the thermodynamic potentials. Work processes on polarizable media subject to electric and magnetic fields are discussed and transformations of matter, including phase change processes and chemical reactions, are treated in detail. The book contains many worked examples, and approximately 250 questions, which are keyed to the text. The questions include traditionaland applied topics, and longer questions have been programmed to guide the student. Author Biography Gerald Carrington is at Otago University.
