The text is copiously illustrated and each chapter contains several worked examples. - ;An understanding of thermal physics is crucial to much of modern physics, chemistry and engineering. This book provides a modern introduction to the main principles that are foundational to thermal physics, thermodynamics, and statistical mechanics. The key concepts are carefully presented in a clear way, and new ideas are illustrated with copious worked examples as well as a description of the historical bHeatStatistical mechanicsThermodynamicsElectronic books.Heat.Statistical mechanics.Thermodynamics.536Blundell Stephen1967-66653Blundell Katherine M785810MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452012603321Concepts in thermal physics1749541UNINA
