Description

Book Synopsis

Discusses microscale energy storage mechanisms from a quantum mechanics perspective, fundamentals of classical and statistical thermodynamics, and applications of equilibrium statistical thermodynamics to solid, liquid, and gas phase systems. The final chapters introduce nonequilibrium thermodynamics of transport phenomena and nonequilibrium effects and noncontinuum behavior at the microscale.

Trade Review

'… a very useful book for anyone who is particularly interested in thermodynamics … good value.' W. A. Woods, Journal of Mechanical of Engineering Science
