商品描述
This undergraduate-level textbook offers a unique and in-depth approach to the study of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. It covers the fundamentals of thermodynamics using both traditional and postulatory approaches, including origin of the concept of thermodynamic entropy, Euler's equation, Gibbs-Duhem relations, stability of equilibrium, and the concept of thermodynamic potentials, and that of independent thermodynamic observables. The book then delves into the microscopic foundation of thermodynamics, starting with the kinetic theory and highlighting its historical development. Boltzmann's concept of entropy is explored, along with its applications in deriving Planck's, Bose's, Bose-Einstein, and Fermi-Dirac distribution functions. The formal structure of classical and quantum statistical mechanics is built based on the concept of statistical entropy and the maximum entropy principle and used to investigate in detail the thermodynamic properties of ideal classical and quantum systems. The book also covers phase transitions, simple theory of critical phenomena, and the theory of interacting van der Waals gases. Throughout the text, the book provides historical context, enriching the reader's understanding. This textbook is a valuable resource for undergraduate physics students, offering comprehensive coverage, including overlooked topics, and a historical perspective on thermodynamics and statistical mechanics.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本本科級教科書提供了一種獨特且深入的熱力學和統計力學研究方法。它涵蓋了熱力學的基本原理,使用傳統和公設兩種方法,包括熱力學熵的概念起源、歐拉方程、吉布斯-杜亨關係、平衡的穩定性,以及熱力學勢和獨立熱力學可觀測量的概念。接著,書中深入探討熱力學的微觀基礎,從動力學理論開始,並強調其歷史發展。書中探討了玻爾茲曼的熵概念及其在推導普朗克、玻色、玻色-愛因斯坦和費米-狄拉克分佈函數中的應用。經典和量子統計力學的正式結構是基於統計熵的概念和最大熵原則建立的,並用來詳細研究理想經典和量子系統的熱力學性質。書中還涵蓋了相變、臨界現象的簡單理論以及相互作用的范德瓦耳斯氣體理論。在整個文本中,書籍提供了歷史背景,豐富了讀者的理解。這本教科書是本科物理學生的寶貴資源,提供了全面的內容,包括被忽視的主題,以及對熱力學和統計力學的歷史視角。
