Thermodynamics in Materials Science

TRAMA

This book explains the thermodynamics background necessary for generating accurate maps of equilibrium states to predict behavior in a wide range of materials. It also illustrates which maps are best suited for specific real-world scenarios and thermodynamic problems. This second edition introduces new, more user-friendly computer software for converting more comprehensive databases into equilibrium maps. Examples and sample problems show how to apply appropriate strategies and develop the working equations of thermodynamics for systems of systematically increasing complexity. A printed Solutions Manual and online Instructor's Notes are available with qualifying course adoptions.

NOTE EDITORE

Thermodynamics in Materials Science, Second Edition is a clear presentation of how thermodynamic data is used to predict the behavior of a wide range of materials, a crucial component in the decision-making process for many materials science and engineering applications. This primary textbook accentuates the integration of principles, strategies, and thermochemical data to generate accurate “maps” of equilibrium states, such as phase diagrams, predominance diagrams, and Pourbaix corrosion diagrams. It also recommends which maps are best suited for specific real-world scenarios and thermodynamic problems. The second edition yet. Each chapter presents its subject matter consistently, based on the classification of thermodynamic systems, properties, and derivations that illustrate important relationships among variables for finding the conditions for equilibrium. Each chapter also contains a summary of important concepts and relationships as well as examples and sample problems that apply appropriate strategies for solving real-world problems. The up-to-date and complete coverage ofthermodynamic data, laws, definitions, strategies, and tools in Thermodynamics in Materials Science, Second Edition provides students and practicing engineers a valuable guide for producing and applying maps of equilibrium states to everyday applications in materials sciences.
