Physical Chemistry: An Advanced Treatise. Vol. 1. Thermodynamics

Textbook / N.Y.—London: Academic Press, 1971. — XXII + 659 p.: illus. — ISBN-13 978-0124124325. In recent years there has been a tremendous expansion in the development of the techniques and principles of physical chemistry. As a result most physical chemists find it difficult to maintain an understanding of the entire field. The purpose of this treatise is to present a comprehensive treatment of physical chemistry for advanced students and investigators in a reasonably small number of volumes. Contents Survey of Fundamental Laws. R. Haase Equilibrium, Stability, and Displacements. A. Sanfeld Irreversible Processes. A. Sanfeld Thermodynamics of Surfaces. A. Sanfeld Thermodynamic Properties of Gases, Liquids, and Solids. R. Haase Gas-Liquid and Gas-Solid Equilibria at High Pressures, Critical Curves, and Miscibility Gaps. E.U. Franck Thermodynamics of Matter in Gravitational, Electric, and Magnetic Fields. Herbert Stenschke The Third Law of Thermodynamics. J. Wilks Practical Treatment of Coupled Gas Equilibrium. Max Klein Equilibria at Very High Temperatures. H. Krempl High Pressure Phenomena. Robert H. Wentorf, Jr. Caratheodory's Formulation of the Second Law. S.M.
