Open Systems 327 $aIX - Phase Equilibria in Simple Systems 330 $aSince there is no shortage of excellent general books on elementary thermodynamics, this book takes a different approach, focusing attention on the problem areas of understanding of concept and especially on the overwhelming but usually hidden role of ""constraints"" in thermodynamics, as well as on the lucid exposition of the significance, construction, and use (in the case of arbitrary systems) of the thermodynamic potential. It will be especially useful as an auxiliary text to be used along with any standard treatment.Unlike some texts, Methods of Thermodynamics does not use statistical m 410 0$aDover Books on Physics 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aPhysics$2HILCC 606 $aPhysical Sciences & Mathematics$2HILCC 606 $aThermodynamics$2HILCC 615 4$aThermodynamics. 615 0$aThermodynamics. 615 7$aPhysics 615 7$aPhysical Sciences & Mathematics 615 7$aThermodynamics 676 $a536/.7 700 $aReiss$b Howard$01764261 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911006600603321 996 $aMethods of Thermodynamics$94392252 997 $aUNINA
