Introduction to the Thermodynamics of Materials

DavidGaskel

Gaskell (materials engineering, Purdue U.) presents an introduction to the theory and application of the systems behavior of metallic and non-metallic materials. Chapters cover such topics as entropy, behavior of gases and solutions, various chemical reactions, and electrochemistry. The CD-ROM contains spreadsheet data and descriptive material for making thermodynamic calculations involving materials processing. This text is a revision of Introduction to metallurgical thermodynamics, 2nd ed. (1981).
