This text is a major revision of An Introduction to Thermodynamics, Kinetic Theory, and Statistical Mechanics by Francis Sears. The general approach has been unaltered and the level remains much the same, perhaps being increased somewhat by greater coverage. The text is particularly useful for advanced undergraduates in physics and engineering who have some familiarity with calculus.
- The first eight chapters are devoted to a presentation of classical thermodynamics without recourse to either kinetic theory or statistical mechanics.
- Later chapters describe how the microscopic properties of the system can be determined by using the methods of kinetic theory and statistical mechanics to calculate the dependence of the macroscopic properties of a system on thermodynamic variables. CONTENTSBEG =
