Contents:
1. Temperature and the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics -- 2. Simple Thermodynamic Systems -- 3. Work -- 4. Heat and the First Law of Thermodynamics -- 5. Ideal Gas -- 6. The Second Law of Thermodynamics -- 7. The Carnot Cycle and the Thermodynamic Temperature Scale -- 8. Entropy -- 9. Pure Substances -- 10. Mathematical Methods -- 11. Open Systems -- 12. Statistical Mechanics -- 13. Thermal Properties of Solids -- 14. Critical Phenomena; Higher-Order Phase Transitions -- 15. Chemical Equilibrium -- 16. Ideal-Gas Reactions -- 17. Heterogeneous Systems -- App. A. Physical Constants -- App. B. Method of Lagrangian Multipliers -- App. C. Evaluation of the Integral [actual symbol not reproducible] -- App. D. Riemann Zeta Functions -- App. E. Thermodynamic Definitions and Formulas.
Summary: Deals with large-scale, easily known thermal phenomena and proceeds to the small-scale, less accessible ones. This work includes calculations after the important formulae are derived. It includes explanations of thermodynamic experiments and helps students see the applicability of abstract thermodynamic concepts and formulae to real situations
