Summary:

Statistical Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach covers in a practical, readily understandable manner the underlying meaning of entropy, temperature, and other thermodynamic concepts; the foundations of quantum mechanics; and the physical basis of gas, liquid, and solid phase properties. It presents imply the relationship between macroscopic and microscopic thermodynamics. In addition, the molecular basis of transport phenomena and chemical kinetics are explored, as are basic concepts in spectroscopy. Modern computational tools for solving thermodynamic problems are explored, and the student is assured that he or she will gain knowledge of practical usefulness. This essential text is suitable for mechanical or aerospace engineering graduate students who have a strong background in engineering thermodynamics; those entering advanced fields such as combustion, high temperature gas dynamics, environmental sciences, or materials processing; and those who wish to build a background for understanding advanced experimental diagnostic techniques in these or similar fields. -- Back cover.
