As such, it is a subject of profound practical and fundamental importance to many science and engineering fields. Despite extremely varied applications ranging from nanomotors to cosmology, the core concepts of thermodynamics such as equilibrium and entropy are the same across all disciplines. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Conceptual Guide to Thermodynamics\u003c\/i\u003e serves as a concise, conceptual and practical supplement to the major thermodynamics textbooks used in various fields. Presenting clear explanations of the core concepts,  the book aims to improve fundamental understanding of the material, as well as homework and exam performance. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDistinctive features include:\u003c\/p\u003e  *\u003cb\u003eTerminology and Notation Key:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eA universal translator that addresses the myriad of conventions, terminologies, and notations found across the major thermodynamics texts. *\u003cb\u003eContent Maps:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eSpecific references to each major thermodynamic text by section and page number for each new concept that is introduced. *\u003cb\u003eHelpful Hints and Don’t Try Its:\u003c\/b\u003e  Numerous useful tips for solving problems, as well as warnings of common student pitfalls. *\u003cb\u003eUnique Explanations\u003c\/b\u003e: Conceptually clear, mathematically fairly simple, yet also sufficiently precise and rigorous.   \u003cp\u003eA more extensive set of reference materials,  including older and newer editions of the major textbooks, as well as a number of less commonly used titles, is available online at \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.conceptualthermo.com\/\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www.conceptualthermo.com\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e Undergraduate and graduate students of chemistry, physics, engineering, geosciences and biological sciences will benefit from this book, as will students preparing for graduate school entrance exams and MCATs.","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45203521241239,"sku":"9781118840535","price":4591.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781118840535.webp?v=1767148826","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-conceptual-guide-to-thermodynamics-9781118840535","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
