Description for Phase Transitions of Simple Systems
Hardback. Develops a unified microscopic basis for phases and phase changes of bulk matter and small systems, based on classical physics. This monograph describes the thermodynamics of ensembles of particles and explains phase transition in gaseous and liquid systems. Series: Springer Series on Atomic, Optical, and Plasma Physics. Num Pages: 257 pages, 81 black & white illustrations, 32 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PHFP; TGMB. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 15. Weight in Grams: 542.
Thermodynamic concepts of aggregate states and their phase transitions - veloped during the 19th Century and are now the basis of our contem- rary understanding of these phenomena. Thermodynamics gives an universal, macroscopic description of the equilibrium properties of phase transitions - dependent of the detailed nature of the substances. However understanding the nature of phase transitions at the microscopic level requires a di?erent approach, one that takes into account the speci?cs of the interparticle int- actions. In this book, we lay the groundwork that connects the microscopic phenomena underlying phase changes with the macroscopic picture, but in a somewhat ... Read more
