Description for Computational Thermodynamics of Materials
hardcover. Integrates fundamental concepts with experimental data and practical applications, including worked examples and end-of-chapter problems. Num Pages: 275 pages, 125 b/w illus. 76 exercises. BIC Classification: TGMB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 247 x 174. .
This unique and comprehensive introduction offers an unrivalled and in-depth understanding of the computational-based thermodynamic approach and how it can be used to guide the design of materials for robust performances, integrating basic fundamental concepts with experimental techniques and practical industrial applications, to provide readers with a thorough grounding in the subject. Topics covered range from the underlying thermodynamic principles, to the theory and methodology of thermodynamic data collecting, analysis, modeling, and verification, with details on free energy, phase equilibrium, phase diagrams, chemical reactions, and electrochemistry. In thermodynamic modelling, the authors focus on the CALPHAD method and first-principles calculations. They ... Read more

Reviews for Computational Thermodynamics of Materials
'The book introduces basic thermodynamic concepts clearly and directs readers to appropriate references for advanced concepts and details of software implementation. The list of references is quite comprehensive. … This book will serve as an excellent reference on computational thermodynamics, and the exercises provided at the end of each chapter make it valuable as a graduate level textbook.' Ram Devanathan, ... Read more
