About This Book

Maintaining the substance that has made Introduction to the Thermodynamics of Materials a perennial bestseller for decades, the Seventh Edition is updated to reflect the broadening field of materials science and engineering. Chapters are updated and revised throughout to be more useful and logical for students.



  • Features more than 60 new homework problems for the students, a listing of terms and concepts introduced, and a summary section


  • Includes more on mathematical and graphical analysis of the various state functions utilized in classical thermodynamics


  • Includes a more extensive discussion of the third law of thermodynamics


  • Features a new appendix on exact differential equations and mathematical relationships, including all mathematical relations among differentials of homogeneous functions utilized in the text

Written as the definitive introduction to the thermodynamic behavior of materials systems, this text presents the underlying thermodynamic principles of materials and their applications and continues to be the best undergraduate textbook in thermodynamics for materials science students. An updated solutions manual is also available for qualifying adopting professors.
