Thermodynamics: Principles Characterizing Physical and Chemical Processes, Fifth Edition is an authoritative guide on the physical and chemical processes based on classical thermodynamic principles. Emphasis is placed on fundamental principles, with a combination of theory and practice that demonstrates their applications in a variety of disciplines. Revised and updated to include new material and novel formulations, this edition features a new chapter on algebraic power laws and Fisher information theory, along with detailed updates on irreversible phenomena, Landau theory, self-assembly, Caratheodory’s theorem, and the effects of externally applied fields.

Drawing on the experience of its expert author, this book is a useful tool for both graduate students, professional chemists, and physicists who wish to acquire a more sophisticated overview of thermodynamics and related subject matter.

Key Features

Updated to reflect the latest developments in the field, including a new chapter on algebraic power laws and Fisher information theory
Includes clear explanations of abstract theoretical concepts
Provides exhaustive coverage of graphical, numerical and analytical computational techniques
