Book
Heat and Thermodynamics
This classic textbook provides a rigorous and comprehensive introduction to the principles of thermodynamics and their applications in physics and engineering. The author develops the subject from a macroscopic viewpoint, establishing the laws of thermodynamics—including the Zeroth, First, and Second Laws—and exploring their consequences for physical systems. Key topics include the concepts of temperature, heat, work, and internal energy, as well as entropy, phase transitions, and the properties of pure substances and ideal gases. Written with exceptional clarity, the book balances theoretical derivations with practical problems, making it a foundational resource for undergraduate and graduate students in the physical sciences.
