Introduction to the Thermodynamics of Materials

by David R. Gaskell

This book serves as an introduction to the thermodynamic behaviour of materials systems, where a materials system is any assemblage of solids, liquids and/or gases, which occupies space. The book is organised in three sections; techniques, applications and perspectives. Throughout the book, there are extensive references to the scientific reviews and original articles. An introductory text, simultaneously demonstrating the underlying principles and applicability of thermodynamics to the behaviour of non-metallic materials and to the transformation of metallurgy materials.
