Description
Thermal physics is a fundamental concept in modern physics, chemistry and engineering. This textbook provides a clear introduction to the main principles that underpin thermal physics, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. Key concepts are presented with worked examples, historical background and applications across various fields such as astrophysics, information theory and climate change. The book extends its coverage of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics to include new topics, including osmosis, diffusion problems, Bayes theorem, radiative transfer, the Ising model and Monte Carlo methods. New examples and exercises have been added throughout the second edition, maintaining a lively style while enhancing its coverage. With detailed exercises at the end of each chapter, this textbook is ideal for those seeking to understand the principles that govern thermal physics and its applications in diverse fields.
