About the book
"The Fourth Edition of this classic textbook is a complete and authoritative introductory text on the thermodynamics of materials. With a new chapter and two new appendices providing thermodynamic and thermochemical data, the Fourth Edition includes extensive references to scientific reviews and original articles.". "Aimed primarily at third-year undergraduate students of metallurgy, metallurgical engineering, ceramics, or materials science, this book will also be useful to graduate students and working professionals in need of a reference or a refresher course. A solutions manual is available to qualified instructors.". "New in this edition: a chapter covering Phase Diagrams for Binary Systems in Pressure-Temperature-Composition Space, two new appendices: Exact Differential Equations and Generation of Auxiliary Functions as Legendre Transformations, and a CD containing thermodynamic properties of 50 commonly used compounds."--BOOK JACKET.
