Description
The Newman Lectures on Thermodynamics by John S. Newman and Vincent S. Battaglia is an exact reproduction of Prof. Newman's lecture notes, providing a comprehensive introduction to thermodynamics. This book presents the fundamental concepts needed to define single- and multi-component systems, starting with the Gibbs function, and covers topics such as entropy, temperature, material properties of pure substances, cycles, open systems, phase transitions, and chemical and phase equilibria. Written in Prof. Newman's own words, this book is designed for engineers and provides a clear presentation of all necessary concepts to understand thermodynamics.
