For undergraduate and graduate-level Chemical Thermodynamics courses in Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Chemical Engineering. This accessible, straightforward treatment of classical thermodynamics focuses on the derivation of the fundamental laws of thermodynamics and other topics of interest to scientists and engineers. Although this book is designed for second courses in thermodynamics, there is nonetheless an intensive discussion of basic topics that is intended to reinforce students' understanding of the material. This text reinforces and extends the knowledge the reader has gained from an earlier exposure to thermodynamics. *Inclusion of topics relevant to chemistry, but often omitted from thermodynamics texts-Helps students to extend the applications of fundamental concepts; gives instructors the option to assign these topics. *Several important pedagogical features-Includes problems at the end of each chapter. *Terms and concepts defined in a clear, rigorous, and understandable manner. *Modern symbols and current nomenclature, such as the notation recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.
