Thermodynamics and Chemistry
by Howard DeVoe

This accessible, straightforward treatment of classical thermodynamics focuses on the derivation of the fundamental laws of thermodynamics and other topics of interest to scientists and engineers.

Thermodynamics and Chemistry reinforces and extends the knowledge the reader has gained from an earlier exposure to thermodynamics.
