Perfect for engineers, physicists, and professionals aiming to deepen their understanding of energy, heat, and entropy, this classic book combines clarity with depth, making complex concepts intuitive and relevant. With strong reviews and top rankings in physics and mechanics categories, it’s a must-read for anyone serious about mastering energy science. ## Description Indisputably, this is a modern classic of science. Based on a course of lectures delivered by the author at Columbia University, the text is elementary in treatment and remarkable for its clarity and organization. Although it is assumed that the reader is familiar with the fundamental facts of thermometry and calorimetry, no advanced mathematics beyond calculus is assumed. Partial contents: thermodynamic systems, the first law of thermodynamics (application, adiabatic transformations), the second law of thermodynamics (Carnot cycle, absolute thermodynamic temperature, thermal engines), the entropy (properties of cycles, entropy of a system whose states can be represented on a (V, p) diagram, Clapeyron and Van der Waals equations), thermodynamic potentials (free energy, thermodynamic potential at constant pressure, the phase rule, thermodynamics of the reversible electric cell), gaseous reactions (chemical equilibria in gases, Van't Hoff reaction box, another proof of the equation of gaseous equilibria, principle of Le Chatelier), the thermodynamics of dilute solutions (osmotic pressure, chemical equilibria in solutions, the distribution of a solute between 2 phases vapor pressure, boiling and freezing points), the entropy constant (Nernst's theorem, thermal ionization of a gas, thermionic effect, etc.). ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #167,711 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in Physics of Entropy #8 in Mechanics #12 in Thermodynamics (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 431 Reviews | ## Images ![Thermodynamics (Dover Books on Physics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91caX2lsFAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***R on September 6, 2014* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by W***M on March 11, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by L***N on August 9, 2008* --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4690572-thermodynamics-dover-books-on-physics](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4690572-thermodynamics-dover-books-on-physics) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
