Thermodynamics; Intro Thermostat 2E Clo

I thoroughly enjoyed learning from this book. It was required for a graduate course on thermodynamics, and I found it very easy to read and the problems were helpful. My previous experience in thermodynamics was with Engel and Reid's Thermodynamics, Statistical Thermodynamics, & Kinetics, which took an approach that focused on the laws of thermodynamics. I much preferred the postulaic approach. It was more intuitive and mathematical. I understood thermodynamics much better in this context, since you are introduced to properties was mathematical relations instead of immediately presenting physical interpretation without the formalism. Some of the figures have typos, I think. There were a couple axes that didn't make any sense. But all in all, excellent textbook!

Callen's Book is an excellent reference for the subject. However, the problem is about the quality of the materials employed to make it. It is not possible that one can print the book in better conditions without any expertise compare with what you get with this book.

Très bon bouquin, qui présente la thermo de façon originale. Pas facile de rentrer dedans, mais une fois l'état d'esprit acquis il est agréable d'appréhender cette matière sous cet angle-là. Pour les chimistes, un ouvrage complémentaire plus standard me semble nécessaire.

Totally used this book for a graduate class, that helped me tremendously!! was a must have!! this book helped me get an A+ in the class!! Shipping was super fast!! would totally recommend to anyone!!!
