Description

This text presents a concise and thorough introduction to the main concepts and practical applications of thermodynamics and kinetics in materials science. It is designed with two types of uses in mind: firstly for one or two semester university course for mid- to - upper level undergraduate or first year graduate students in a materials-science-oriented discipline and secondly for individuals who want to study the materials on their own. The following major topics are discussed: basic laws of classical and irreversible thermodynamics, phase equilibria, theory of solutions, chemical reaction thermodynamics and kinetics, surface phenomena, stressed systems, diffusion and statistical thermodynamics. A large number of example problems with detailed solutions are included as well as accompanying computer-based self-tests, consisting of over 400 questions and 2000 answers with hints for students. Computer-based laboratories are provided, in which a laboratory problem is posed and the experiment described. The student can "perform" the experiments and change the laboratory conditions to obtain the data required for meeting the laboratory objective. Each "laboratory" is augmented with background material to aid analysis of the experimental results.

這本書提供了熱力學和動力學在材料科學中的主要概念和實際應用的簡明而全面的介紹。它設計有兩種用途：第一，用於材料科學導向學科的大學一學期或兩學期的高年級本科生或研究生課程；第二，供希望自學材料科學的個人使用。本書討論了以下主要主題：古典和不可逆熱力學的基本定律、相平衡、溶液理論、化學反應熱力學和動力學、表面現象、應力系統、擴散和統計熱力學。書中包含了大量的例題和詳細解答，以及超過400個問題和2000個答案的電腦自測，並提供相應的提示給學生。還提供了基於電腦的實驗室，其中提出了一個實驗室問題並描述了實驗。學生可以“執行”實驗並更改實驗條件以獲得滿足實驗目標所需的數據。每個“實驗室”都附有背景材料，以幫助分析實驗結果。
