This book examines analytic thermodynamics in terms of the gas law, latent heat exchange and the derived Joule-Thomson coefficient. Extension is made to chemically-reacting systems and to equilibrium and catalysis. Of special consideration is the thermodynamic temperature scale and its construction, which provides a synoptic basis for these diverse phenomena.
