More About This Title Entropy Analysis: An Introduction to ChemicalThermodynamics
English
This indroduction provides chemists and students access to fundamental concepts of chemical thermodynamics and equips them with the knowledge to apply thermodynamic reasoning to a wide range of chemical systems.
Presenting the laws of thermodynamics from a global perspective instead of the system-level, 'local' point of view that is often taught, the book focuses on the entropy function as the index of level, emphasizing it as a measure of the dispersal of energy, ordered and disordered, as well as developing systematics of the entropy function at the macroscopic level. An extensive table of thermodynamic data in Appendix D facilitates a wide range of applications. Excellent for classroom use, 'Entropy Analysis' also offers professional chemists a coherent, usable review of important thermodynamic principles.
