Thermodynamics of Materials Volume 2

About this book

Clear explanation of reaction kinetics for liquids gases and solids Thermodynamics of Materials provides a comprehensive reference for chemical engineers and others whose work involves materials science. Volume 2 reviews macroscopic thermodynamics before moving on to the more complex behavior of defects and interfaces. The kinetics of liquids and gases are explored through discussion of evaporation diffusion and molecular movement while solids are explored through in-depth explanations of nucleation spinodal decomposition and reaction kinetics. Concise with clearly-defined equations and constants this guide is an invaluable reference for both theoretical and practical applications.
