Statistical Thermodynamics - Fundamentals and Applications
Laurendeau, Normand M.
This book discusses the fundamentals and applications of statistical thermodynamics for beginning graduate students in the engineering sciences. This book features a step-by-step development of the subject with few presumptions concerning previous exposure of students to statistics, quantum mechanics or spectroscopy. Each chapter is carefully written to address student difficulties in learning this challenging subject, which is fundamental to combustion, propulsion, transport phenomena, spectroscopic measurements and nanotechnology. Students are made comfortable with their new knowledge by the inclusion of both example and prompted homework problems.
