Description for Equilibrium Thermodynamics
hardcover. Series: Graduate Texts in Physics. Num Pages: 411 pages, 81 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHFC; PHS; PNR. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155. .
This textbook provides an exposition of equilibrium thermodynamics and its applications to several areas of physics with particular attention to phase transitions and critical phenomena. The applications include several areas of condensed matter physics and include also a chapter on thermochemistry. Phase transitions and critical phenomena are treated according to the modern development of the field, based on the ideas of universality and on the Widom scaling theory. For each topic, a mean-field or Landau theory is presented to describe qualitatively the phase transitions. These theories include the van der Waals theory of the liquid-vapor transition, the Hildebrand-Heitler theory of ... Read more
