Thermodynamic Data: Systematics and Estimation (Advances in physical geochemistry ;v. 10) - Hardcover
Synopsis
With the rapid development of fast processors, the power of a mini-super computer now exists in a lap-top box. Quite sophisticated techniques are be coming accessible to geoscientists, thus making disciplinary boundaries fade. Chemists and physicists are no longer shying away from computational mineral ogical and material science problems "too complicated to handle." Geoscientists are willing to delve into quantitative physico-chemical methods and open those "black boxes" they had shunned for several decades but with which had learned to live. I am proud to present yet another volume in this series which is designed to break the disciplinary boundaries and bring the geoscientists closer to their chemist and physicist colleagues in achieving a common goal. This volume is the result of an international collaboration among many physical geochemists (chemists, physicists, and geologists) aiming to understand the nature of material. The book has one common theme: namely, how to determine quantitatively through theory the physico-chemical parameters of the state of a solid or fluid.

Synopsis
Reviews current methods for estimating and improving the quality of thermodynamic data. Application of these methods leads to thermodynamic data which are important to physical chemists, geochemists, geophysicists and material scientists for the quantitative modeling of natural and industrial thermodynamic processes in low-temperature aqueous syste
