MEDIAINFO
Textbook in PDF format The aim of this book is to present Classical Thermodynamics in a unified way, from the most fundamental principles to non-uniform systems, thereby requiring the introduction of coarse graining methods, leading for instance to phase field methods. Solutions thermodynamics and temperature-concentration phase diagrams are covered, plus also a brief introduction to statistical thermodynamics and topological disorder. The Landau theory is included along with a general treatment of multicomponent instabilities in various types of thermodynamic applications, including phase separation and order-disorder transitions. Nucleation theory and spinodal decomposition are presented as extreme cases of a single approach involving the all-important role of fluctuations.In this way, it is hoped that this coverage will reconcile in a unified manner techniques generally presented separately in physics and materials texts. This book is really a combination of class notes, textbook, and review article. It started as class notes for a classical thermodynamics course taught at the UCLA and later at UC Berkeley; that material constitutes most of Part I, devoted to the basic principles of the subject. Part II is of more recent vintage, was partly taught at Berkeley, and is devoted mostly to topics of interest in materials science. It also contains material which is original to this book, as far as I know, the objective being to indicate, in a “review” manner, some of the current trends in the general field of thermodynamics. The presentation throughout is decidedly theoretical, which makes the treatment rather condensed. As a result, the contents will be most relevant to those who are already familiar with basic notions of classical thermodynamics. Those who prefer a more experimental approach have many excellent textbooks at their disposal, some of which are mentioned at the end of the Introduction
