Download or read book Thermodynamics in Earth and Planetary Sciences written by Jibamitra Ganguly and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-06-29 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a university course, this book provides an exposition of a large spectrum of geological, geochemical and geophysical problems that are amenable to thermodynamic analysis. It also includes selected problems in planetary sciences, relationships between thermodynamics and microscopic properties, particle size effects, methods of approximation of thermodynamic properties of minerals, and some kinetic ramifications of entropy production. The textbook will enable graduate students and researchers alike to develop an appreciation of the fundamental principles of thermodynamics, and their wide ranging applications to natural processes and systems.
