[资源] 《Introduction to the Thermodynamics of Materials》

INTRODUCTION TO THE THERMODYNAMICS OF MATERIALS, FOURTH EDITION
By David Gaskell

Publisher: Taylor & Francis
Number Of Pages: 640
Publication Date: 2003-02-07
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1560329920
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781560329923
Binding: Hardcover

The Fourth Edition of this classic textbook is a complete and authoritative introductory text on the thermodynamics of materials. With a new chapter (Chapter 14) and two new appendices providing thermodynamic and thermochemical data, the Fourth Edition includes extensive references to scientific reviews and original articles.

Introduction to the Thermodynamics of Materials is used universally as an introduction to the application of the thermodynamic method to understanding the behavior of materials systems.

Aimed primarily at third-year undergraduate students of metallurgy, metallurgical engineering, ceramics, or materials science, this book will also be useful to graduate students and working professionals in need of a reference or a refresher course. A solutions manual is available to qualified instructors.

NEW IN THE 4TH EDITION:
- A new chapter covering Phase Diagrams for Binary Systems in Pressure-Temperature-Composition Space

-Two new appendices: Exact Differential Equations and Generation of Auxiliary Functions as Legendre Transformations

- A CD containing thermodynamic properties of 50 commonly used compounds. The data and descriptive material on the CD enables students to make detailed thermodynamic calculations involving materials processing.

Summary: Great Resource
Rating: 5

Great Resource. There are a few typos that have been addressed in the later edition, but overall this edition flows well and is well organized.

Summary: Hit and miss
Rating: 3

I used this book for my course in Materials Thermodynamics, and I must say that it's got some pretty good material and also some poor parts. In particular Gaskell usually does a good job of explaining his derivations, but there are times when the typographic errors get in the way and you sit there for an hour, until your teacher finally tells you that Gaskell made a mistake.

Another annoyance is that Gaskell's solutions in the back of the book are sometimes wrong, which means that it may be difficult to use a self-teaching book. In addition, Gaskell's solutions to some configurational entropy problems are just completely unconventional and nonsensical from an intuitive standpoint -- my teacher told us to disregard his method entirely.

The text does have some pluses: it has plentiful diagrams, excellent thermodynamic appendicies, and in general does a good job of rigorously explaining every concept. It's definitely not a beginner's book, but Thermodynamics is a complex topic and there are certain assumptions made of the reader in any Thermodynamics textbook.

Summary: Hard text
Rating: 2

Thermodynamics is one of those topics covered in multiple branches of science such as physics, chemistry, geology, materials science, chemical engineering, etc... This book approaches the subject from materials science and is meant to serve as the book for a one or two semester course in thermo. First of, it is not meant for beginners to thermo. I used this book in a course taught by one of the best instructors in my department, after having taken two easier courses in thermo. Yet I still found it difficult. Second, the math is advanced enough that one should not take the course without having differential equations. Third, the example problems can get quite difficult real quickly; and not all have solutions. But overall, the text is a good reflection of the subject; difficult and time-consuming to master
