DESCRIPTION:
"I love this book and will strongly recommend it to my students. The introduction of Magnetic flavor in this textbook set it apart from other books on thermodynamics of materials"Oh Joo Tien, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore"This book gives a step-by-step introduction to the thermodynamics of materials. I always tell my friends and colleagues that this book is the Bible of the ‘Thermodynamics of Materials.’ In Taiwan, this book is also a text book for graduated school entrance examinations." Yee-Wen Yen, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology"This text is by far the best text I have yet found for teaching thermodynamics to undergrads. Equipped with this knowledge, the students can go on toward more specialized studies or to the rea

Gaskell’s first faculty position was at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, where he taught from 1967 to1982 in Metallurgy and Materials Science. He is also the recipient of several CMU awards for teaching and research excellence and a Distinguished Scientist of the TMS Electronic, Magnetic & Photonic Materials Division. He is a Fellow of TMS, an Honorar
Maintaining the substance that made Introduction to the Thermodynamic of Materials a perennial best seller for decades, this Sixth Edition is updated to reflect the broadening field of materials science and engineering. There is also an increased emphasis on the thermodynamics of phase transformations and the Sixth Edition features an entirely new chapter 15 that links specific thermodynamic applications to the study of phase transformations. The third section (Reactions and Transformations) can be used in other courses of the curriculum that deal with oxidation, energy, and phase transformations. The new edition is reorganized into three major sections to align the book for practical coursework, with the first (Thermodynamic Principles) and second (Phase Equilibria) sections aimed at use in a one semester undergraduate course. The book is updated to include the role of work terms other than PV work (e.g., magnetic work) along with their attendant aspects of entropy, Maxwell equations, and the role of such applied fields on phase diagrams. The book also featu
