Problems in Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics (Paperback)

Peter T. Landsberg

商品描述

Well respected and widely used, this volume presents problems and full solutions related to a wide range of topics in thermodynamics, statistical physics, and statistical mechanics. The text is intended for instructors, undergraduates, and graduate students of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering. Twenty-eight chapters, each prepared by an expert, proceed from simpler to more difficult subjects. Similarly, the early chapters are easier than the later ones, making the book ideal for independent study.
Subjects begin with the laws of thermodynamics and statistical theory of information and of ensembles, advancing to the ideal classical gases of polyatomic molecules, non-electrolyte liquids and solutions, and surfaces. Subsequent chapters explore imperfect classical and quantum gas, phase transitions, cooperative phenomena, Green function methods, the plasma, transport in gases and metals, Nyquist's theorem and its generalizations, stochastic methods, and many other topics.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書廣受尊敬且被廣泛使用,提供了與熱力學、統計物理學和統計力學相關的各種主題的問題和完整解答。本書適用於數學、物理、化學和工程的教師、大學生和研究生。共有28章,每章由專家撰寫,從較簡單的主題逐漸深入複雜。同樣地,前幾章比後面的章節更容易,使本書非常適合獨立學習。
主題從熱力學定律和統計信息理論以及集合理論開始,進一步探討了理想的多原子分子、非電解液體和溶液以及表面的經典氣體。隨後的章節探討了不完美的經典和量子氣體、相變化、合作現象、格林函數方法、等離子體、氣體和金屬的傳輸、奈奎斯特定理及其延伸、隨機方法等等其他主題。
