Energy and Entropy

This book is an overview of classical thermodynamics, statistical thermodynamics, non-equilibrium and stationary state thermodynamics. This comprehensive work is the first book outside of specialized monographs to approach flow systems and irreversible thermodynamics for advanced undergraduate or introductory graduate courses in thermodynamics in chemistry, physics, biophysics, and engineering programs. Instructors for those courses will find in this book transparent models that clarify a broad range of difficult physical and mathematical concepts, including:

Cooligative properties and solution thermodynamics
Chemical potential for equilibrium systems
Continuous energy systems
Transition to non-equilibrium systems through statistical chemical kinetics
Bose–Einstein statistics in conjunction with unimolecular reaction rate theory
Irreversible thermodynamics with both time and spatial dependence
Basic stationary state processes.
