Thermodynamics in Chemistry, Physics & Biology

e book comprises twelve chapters spread over 354 typed pages. Each chapter, at the end, provides all the formulae under the subheading of highlight, some possible questions and several MCQs with explanations for making students understand and memorise the subject better. The ?rst chapter discusses the importance and all basic terminologies of thermodynamics, and the zeroth law. e second and the third chapters cover the ?rst law of thermodynamics and thermochemistry respectively, accompanied by citation of multiple solved problems. e fourth chapter describes the second law of thermodynamics which includes the recent topic of “Plasma ermodynamics”.e ?h, the sixth, the seventh and the eighth chapters elaborate on free energy,the chemical potential and phase equillibrium, the third law of thermodynamics and statistical thermodynamics respectively. e ninth Chapter throws light on nonequlibrium thermodynamics which contains several examples of biological processes along with their pictorial representation. e tenth Chapter narrates phase equilibrium. e eleventh chapter elucidates thermodynamics of liquids, di?erent properties of liquids, theories and their industrial applications. e twelh Chapter explains the applications of the law of thermodynamics which includes various heat engines, refrigerators and, specially, ?ve types of internal combustion engines.
