Statistical Thermodynamics and Stochastic Kinetics by Yiannis N. Kaznessis

By Yiannis N. Kaznessis

proposing the foremost rules of thermodynamics from a microscopic standpoint, this ebook presents engineers with the data they should practice thermodynamics and clear up engineering demanding situations on the molecular point. It sincerely explains the ideas of entropy and loose strength, emphasizing key principles utilized in equilibrium functions, while stochastic approaches, comparable to stochastic response kinetics, also are coated. It presents a classical microscopic interpretation of thermodynamic houses, that's key for engineers, instead of concentrating on extra esoteric suggestions of statistical mechanics and quantum mechanics. insurance of molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations as average extensions of the theoretical therapy of statistical thermodynamics is additionally integrated, educating readers the way to use desktop simulations and hence allowing them to appreciate and engineer the microcosm. that includes many labored examples and over a hundred end-of-chapter workouts, it truly is perfect to be used within the lecture room in addition to for self-study.
