Practical Chemical Thermodynamics for Geoscientists

Elsevier Science and Technology, July 2012, Pages: 732

Practical Chemical Thermodynamics for Geoscientists covers classical chemical thermodynamics and focuses on applications to practical problems in the geosciences, environmental sciences, and planetary sciences. This book will provide a strong theoretical foundation for students, while also proving beneficial for earth and planetary scientists seeking a review of thermodynamic principles and their application to a specific problem.

- Strong theoretical foundation and emphasis on applications
- Numerous worked examples in each chapter
- Brief historical summaries and biographies of key thermodynamicists-including their fundamental research and discoveries
- Extensive references to relevant literature
