Download or read book Statistical Thermodynamics for Pure and Applied Sciences written by Frederick Richard Wayne McCourt and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-06 with total page 691 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook concerns thermal properties of bulk matter and is aimed at advanced undergraduate or first-year graduate students in a range of programs in science or engineering. It provides an intermediate level presentation of statistical thermodynamics for students in the physical sciences (chemistry, nanosciences, physics) or related areas of applied science/engineering (chemical engineering, materials science, nanotechnology engineering), as they are areas in which statistical mechanical concepts play important roles. The book enables students to utilize microscopic concepts to achieve a better understanding of macroscopic phenomena and to be able to apply these concepts to the types of sub-macroscopic systems encountered in areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
