{"product_id":"principles-of-classical-thermodynamics-didier-de-fontaine-9789811221439","title":"Principles of Classical Thermodynamics: Applied to Materials Science","description":"The aim of this book is to present Classical Thermodynamics in a unified way, from the most fundamental principles to non-uniform systems, thereby requiring the introduction of coarse graining methods, leading for instance to phase field methods. Solutions thermodynamics and temperature-concentration phase diagrams are covered, plus also a brief introduction to statistical thermodynamics and topological disorder. The Landau theory is included along with a general treatment of multicomponent instabilities in various types of thermodynamic applications, including phase separation and order-disorder transitions. Nucleation theory and spinodal decomposition are presented as extreme cases of a single approach involving the all-important role of fluctuations.In this way, it is hoped that this coverage will reconcile in a unified manner techniques generally presented separately in physics and materials texts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Didier de Fontaine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 981122143X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789811221439\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Didier de Fontaine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983408038143,"sku":"9789811221439","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1182b62a-ad24-4113-9e9c-4987101c5630.jpg?v=1683266464","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/principles-of-classical-thermodynamics-didier-de-fontaine-9789811221439","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
