Thermal physics

By: Kittel,CharlesContributor(s): Kroemer, HerbertMaterial type: Text

TextPublication details: San Francisco : W.H. Freeman, ©1980Edition: 2nd edDescription: xvii, 473 pages : illustrationsISBN: 9780716710882; 0716710889 Subject(s): Statistical thermodynamicsDDC classification: 536.7

Contents:

States of a model system -- Entropy and temperature -- Boltzmann distribution and Helmholtz free energy -- Thermal radiation and Planck distribution -- Chemical potential and Gibbs distribution -- Ideal gas -- Fermi and Bose gases -- Heat and work -- Gibbs free energy and chemical reactions -- Phase transformations -- Binary mixtures -- Cryogenics -- Semiconductor statistics -- Kinetic theory -- Propagation.

Summary: For upper-level courses in Thermodynamics or Statistical Mechanics, this reprint with added information offers a modern approach to thermal physics that is based on the idea that all physical systems can be described in terms of their discrete quantum states, rather than drawing on 19th-century classical mechanics concepts.
