Description
Thermodynamics for Chemists, Physicists and Engineers by Robert Hołyst and Andrzej Poniewierski is a comprehensive introduction to the subject, covering phenomenological thermodynamics and its applications to phase transitions and chemical reactions. The book strikes a balance between rigor and practicality, making it suitable for undergraduates in chemistry, physics, and engineering courses. The text is divided into three parts, each addressing a different aspect of thermodynamics. The first part introduces the postulates and laws of thermodynamics, while the second part focuses on applications to phase transitions in pure substances and mixtures. The third part covers thermodynamic systems in which chemical reactions take place, including advanced topics such as thermodynamic potentials and electrochemical reactions. With its interdisciplinary approach and focus on practical examples, this textbook is ideal for students looking to understand the fundamental principles of thermodynamics.
