A concurrent course in multivariable calculus isrecommended but not absolutely necessary. Before reading this book you shouldhave taken a calculus-based introductory physics course, not necessarilyincluding thermodynamics. I'd rather talk to you directlythan pontificate in the passive voice. This organizationalplan highlights the most important principles, and gives readers and instructorsa great deal of flexibility in choosing what topics to cover. Each chapter introducesone or two powerful tools and then applies these tools to a variety ofphenomena. Fundamentals come first, then thermodynamicsapplications, then statistical mechanics applications. Both the macroscopic and microscopicviewpoints have their advantages, so I've tried to present and use both,without giving undue emphasis to either. A balanced treatment of classical thermodynamics andstatistical mechanics.This textbook is intended for use in undergraduate courses in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, at the sophomore through senior level.

(f) The sun has a mass of 2 × 10 30 kg and gives off energy at a rate of 3. (e) What is the change in the system's energy during this reaction? How would your answer differ if the H 2 O ended up as liquid water instead of vapor? (d) How much heat is given off during this reaction, assuming that no "other" forms of work are done? (c) What is Δ Hfor the actual reaction in which methane and oxygen form carbon dioxide and water vapor directly? Explain. (b) Now imagine forming a mole of CO 2 and two moles of water vapor from their elemental constituents. Use the data at the back of this book to find Δ Hfor this process. (a) First imagine the process of converting a mole of methane into its elemental constituents (graphite and hydrogen gas). The system is at standard temperature ( 298 K ) and pressure 10 5 Pa both before and after the reaction. Consider the combustion of one mole of methane gas:ĬH 4 (gas) + 2 O 2 (gas) ⟶ CO 2 (gas) + 2 H 2 O ( gas )
