4.9/5 (11684 ratings)

Description:This concise and compact introductory textbook on thermodynamics is designed for undergraduate students in physics, physics engineering, biophysics and biomedical engineering who are being exposed to the ideas and concepts of thermal physics for the first time.While this is a self-contained text on thermodynamics (i.e. focused on macroscopic physics), emphasis is placed on the microscopic underlying model in order to facilitate the understanding of thermodynamics concepts and properties, and motivate a future course on statistical physics.This book will equip the readers with an understanding of the scope and applicability of this discipline and will be able to apply it to study any physical system.Readers are continuously challenged with conceptual questions that prompt reflection and facilitate the understanding of particularly difficult ideas. Each chapter ends by presenting one (or more) problems to facilitate and motivate self-study, in addition to a series of exercises with different level of difficulty with suggestions for further reading. The language and notation adopted throughout the book is consistently rigorous, which is essential in a first encounter with thermodynamics and often missed in introductory textbooks.Features: Pedagogically designed, including illustrations, keyword definitions, highlights, notes in margins, summaries of key ideas and concepts, and boxes with additional topics that complement the materials presented in the main text. Presents active reading strategies, such as conceptual problems, discussion questions, worked examples with comments, end of chapter problems, and further reading to stimulate engagement with the text. Guides the reader with ease through a difficult subject by providing extra help whenever needed to overcome the more demanding technical and conceptual aspects.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
