Thermodynamics in Materials ScienceAuthor(s): Robert DeHoff\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Inc, United States\nImprint: CRC Press Inc\nISBN-13: 9780849340659, 978-0849340659\nSynopsis\nThermodynamics in Materials Science, Second Edition is a clear presentation of how thermodynamic data is used to predict the behavior of a wide range of materials, a crucial component in the decision-making process for many materials science and engineering applications. This primary textbook accentuates the integration of principles, strategies, and thermochemical data to generate accurate maps of equilibrium states, such as phase diagrams, predominance diagrams, and Pourbaix corrosion diagrams. It also recommends which maps are best suited for specific real-world scenarios and thermodynamic problems.\n\nThe second edition yet. Each chapter presents its subject matter consistently, based on the classification of thermodynamic systems, properties, and derivations that illustrate im.
