It presents the evolution of thermodynamics, demonstrating that the functions, equations, relationships, and quantities didn't simply materialize but were rooted in the human experience of heat and cold. While equilibrium thermodynamics is the primary focus, time is integrated as a fundamental element, distinguishing this from traditional treatments. Readers will find familiar heat-related experiences transformed into model equations, revealing the natural emergence of fundamental thermodynamic concepts. These essentials are then distilled into simple axioms summarizing the core principles of equilibrium thermodynamics. The book goes beyond macroscopic descriptions, delving into microscopic connections at the atomic and molecular levels. It is suitable for a diverse readership, including students in science and technology, professionals looking to refresh their knowledge of thermodynamics, and those interested in exploring advanced, non-equilibrium thermodynamics. While it caters to a broad audience, it is particularly beneficial for individuals in chemistry and chemical engineering, requiring only a basic understanding of calculus. 410 0$aPhysical Chemistry in Action,$x2197-4357 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aChemical kinetics 606 $aPhysical chemistry 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aReaction Kinetics 606 $aPhysical Chemistry 615 0$aThermodynamics. 615 0$aChemical kinetics. 615 0$aPhysical chemistry. 615 14$aThermodynamics. 615 24$aReaction Kinetics. 615 24$aPhysical Chemistry. 676 $a536.7 700 $aPekar$b Miloslav$01062940 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910866569503321 996 $aThe Essentials of Thermodynamics$94259489 997 $aUNINA
