Description and Table of Contents

Description

This is an advanced treatise for the scientist or research engineer using thermodynamics for systems of variable composition. Thermodynamics is used by chemists, chemical engineers, physicists, metallurgists, geochemists, and oceanographer. The first and second editions of this book are now considered classics. This edition has been greatly revised. Thermodynamics research and applications now make much more use of computers and complex working equations than previously done.
