Nota di contenuto

A summary of thermodynamics; equation of state for an ideal gas; law of equipartition of energy and effects of vibrational and rotational motions; Bose-Einstein equation of state; Fermi-Dirac equation of state; ionization equilibrium and the Saha equation; Debye-Hnckel equation of state; the Thomas-Fermi and related models; Grnneisen equation of state; an introduction to fluid mechanics in relation to shock waves; derivation of hydrodynamics from kinetic theory; studies of the equations of state from high-pressure shock waves in solids; equation of state and inertial confinement fusion; applications of equations of state in astrophysics; equations of state in elementary particle physics.

Sommario/riassunto

The equation of state was developed for ideal gases & proved central to the development of early molecular & atomic physics. This book is an account of the equation of state & its applications in theoretical physics, chemistry & engineering.
