Key Features
* Outlines the development of the principles of thermodynamics,
including the most modern applications along with those of
importance in developing the science and those of historical
interest
* Provides a basic review of thermodynamic principles, equations,
and applications of broad interest
* Treats thermodynamics as one of the preeminent examples of an
exact science
* Provides a more rigorous and indepth treatment of thermodynamics
and discussion of a wider variety of applications than are found in
more
broadly based physical chemistry undergraduate textbooks
* Includes examples in the text and exercises and problems at the
end of each chapter to assist the student in learning the
subject
* Provides a complete set of references to all sources of data and
to supplementary reading sources
J. Bevan Ott is the Joseph K. Nicholes Professor of Chemistry Emeritus, Brigham Young University, USA. He has spent 40 years teachingthermodynamics to undergraduate and graduate students and has written 120 papers in the scientific literature as well as authoring andcontributing to a number of books. Professor Ott has received major awards from Brigham Young University that recognize his accomplishments in teaching and in research, including the Distinguished Faculty Lecture Award, the most prestegious award given by the university. Juliana Boerio-Goates is a Professor of Chemistry at Brigham Young University, USA. She has taught chemical thermodynamics to undergraduate and graduate students for 18 years and has written almost 50 publications in the scientific literature. Professor Boerio-Goatesserves on the Advisory Board of the Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics and has received major awards for teaching and for research fromBrigham Young University which recognize her accomplishments and ability in both areas.
"...complete, thorough and contain up-to-date references. The material covered includes essentially all of classical thermodynamics including thermodynamics of mixtures. ...provide lecturers with very detailed source material, examples and problems for lecturers on classical thermodynamics."
