Molecular Thermodynamics : A Statistical Approach

Seeking to introduce molecular thermodynamics in a contemporary manner, this book approaches the subject from a statistical basis, rather than the traditional approach using phenomenological bulk phase behaviour and continuum mechanics. Thus, topics are discussed in a different sequence than is encountered in more traditional texts; the presentation of material begins with the molecular argument and later expands to bulk phase behaviour.

Worked examples and end-of-chapter problems are included.
