Thermodynamic Loop Applications in Materials Systems

by Donald Clay Johnson, Glenn B. Stracher

A text for a one-semester course in materials thermodynamics, emphasizing the use of thermodynamics as a problem-solving tool in materials applications. Briefly reviews fundamentals of classical thermodynamics and introduces them into problem solving using thermodynamic loop analysis. Presents analysis and applications in binary phase diagrams, activity quotient, and equilibrium constant. Includes exercises and a solution manual, appendices of thermodynamic data, constants, and properties, and b&w diagrams. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
