Chemical Thermodynamics: An Introduction by Victor CM Freestone book pdf download. The approach adopted in this book will give readers a better understanding of how science works together with its limitations. Unfortunately, thermodynamics, or at least some parts of it, is a subject which (apart from quantum mechanics) probably causes most confusion and bewilderment amongst scientists.
Highlighting the benefits of thermodynamics in practical science, the text gives an intuitive grasp of the major concepts of thermodynamics such as energy and entropy.
- Provides a new pedagogic approach to understanding and teaching chemical thermodynamics.
- Starting with a set of basic simple assumptions about what constitutes topics such as an ideal gas, theories are developed in a clear, concise and accessible manner that will either answer or at the very least give an insight into a surprising range of scientific phenomena including energy, heat, temperature, properties of gases, time and quantum theory.
- Assumes that the reader has essentially no knowledge of the subject.
- Mathematics (including calculus) is kept to a relatively elementary level in order to obtain an understanding of this most important of subjects.
- Provides the reader with a better understanding of how science works together with its limitations.
