Fundamentals of Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics: Second Edition
Description
This book is an expanded version of the lectures on thermodynamics and statistical mechanics that the author taught for several years to undergraduates majoring in physics at Truman State University. The structure of the book mirrors closely, in content and style, what one will get in an actual classroom lecture. The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers equilibrium thermodynamics. Starting with a few simple postulates, the text presents the basics of thermodynamic cycles, engines, absolute temperature, and the second law.
