Modern Thermodynamics: From Heat Engines to Dissipative Structures, Second Edition by Dilip Kondepudi offers a comprehensive introduction to 20th century thermodynamics applicable to both equilibrium and non-equilibrium systems. This edition unifies what was traditionally divided into ‘thermodynamics’ and ‘kinetics,’ presenting one theory of irreversible processes. Suitable for introductory as well as advanced courses, this text has been widely used by chemists, physicists, engineers, and geologists. Fully revised and expanded, the new edition includes a completely new chapter on Principles of Statistical Thermodynamics, new material on solar and wind energy flows, and engineering energy flows, along with coverage of self-organization in non-equilibrium systems and the thermodynamics of small systems. It highlights a wide range of applications relevant to students across physical sciences and engineering courses and introduces computational methods using updated Mathematica codes. Problem sets are included to help readers understand and apply the principles introduced throughout the text.
