This text emphasizes the behaviour of material from the molecular point of view. It is for engineering students who have a background in chemistry and physics and in thermodynamics. A background in calculus and differential equations is assumed. Each chapter includes a vast array of exercises, for which a Student Solutions Manual is also available.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
I had a lot fun reading through this textbook. Its main assets are an excellent choice of topics, a logical sequence of chapters, and, in particular, a very patient and detailed introduction to the difficult concepts of quantum mechanics and statistical thermodynamics. Very importantly for engineering students, the authors end with a chapter on engineering applications." --Peter G. Vekilov, University of Houston
"In summary, the book is, overall, excellent." --TCE Today, September 2008
"This book fits exactly my needs for a textbook in teaching our course specifically designed for Chem Engineering majors...I profoundly thank and congratulate the authors for putting this book together. It is greatly needed, will be widely used, and enormously appreciated." --Professor D. Wayne Goodman, Texas A&M
