THERMODYNAMICS - FROM FUNDAMENTALS TO MULTIPHASE AND MULTICOMPONENT SYSTEMS

This book presents the fundamentals of thermodynamics and is designed to serve as a comprehensive textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. It caters to those who seek a deeper understanding of how irreversibility impacts thermodynamic processes between equilibrium states. Additionally, it aims to provide a thorough grasp of the underlying physical mechanisms governing the macroscopic behavior of multiphase and multicomponent systems, both in equilibrium and non-equilibrium states.
