Content:
Highly praised as Introduction to Metallurgical Thermodynamics, this new edition has been retitled Introduction to the Thermodynamics of Materials to better reflect the increasing application of thermodynamics to the behavior of nonmetallic materials, and the transformation of metallurgy to materials. Still clearly written as an introductory textbook for undergraduate and graduate level students of materials science and engineering, this new edition extends the range of topics to include nonmetallic materials; simultaneously demonstrates the underlying principles and their applicability; now addresses Gibbs free-energy-composition diagrams and phase equilibria in binary systems; provides normal derivations of thermodynamic equations with derivations that illustrate the thermodynamics of the situation; provides new worked-out examples and problems, many of which focus on nonmetallic systems
Content:
This text meets all criteria for an introductory treatment and in particular it enables both the student and the working professional to advance to and utilize the standard treatises on the subject. Research scientists and engineers in the materials industry will find the book especially valuable for this reason
