Hello.Progress of thermodynamics has been stimulated by the findings of a variety of fields of science and technology. The principles of thermodynamics are so general that the application is widespread to such fields as solid stat.e physics, chemistry, biology, astronomical science, materials science, and chemical engineering. I find two great open access books “Application of Thermodynamics to Biological and Materials Science” You can read it on online reading platform or just download it here: http://www.intechopen.com/books/show/title/application-of-thermodynamics-to-biological-and-materials-science and “Thermodynamics” http://www.intechopen.com/books/show/title/thermodynamics
ReplyDeleteThe contents of this books should be of help to many scientists and engineers. Chee
