Book Description The book discusses processes common in the three major fields of thermal science - Thermodynamics, Thermochemistry, and Gas Dynamics.

Volume II of two, from the Thermodymaics Research Centre, this includes Thermodynamic Functions of the Substances in the Ideal Gas State; and Empirical Functions for Thermodynamical Properties of Ideal Gases.

Readable and accessible throughout, this book provides both thermodynamic and statistical points of view, covering thermodynamic potentials, such as entropy and free energy, whenever relevant.

The basic theory of thermodynamics is treated in the book using ideal gas as an example. A clear explanation for the quantity entropy is given in the book.

The text is clearly written and punctuated with many interesting anecdotes. This book is written as main textbook for upper undergraduate students attending a course on thermodynamics.
