Thermodynamics in Earth and Planetary Sciences

Více o knize

The book delves into the fundamental principles of Classical thermodynamics and introduces Statistical Thermodynamics, applying these concepts to Earth and Planetary sciences. It covers a wide array of topics, including the laws of thermodynamics, phase transitions, and the thermodynamics of solutions. Key applications range from the Earth's interior to celestial bodies like asteroids. The text includes numerous solved problems that bridge theory and real-world natural processes, enhancing understanding of thermochemical properties and kinetic implications.
