This book develops thermodynamics from the laws through to industrial practice, in nineteen chapters and 118 figures. It is built for the reader who needs to know not only what the answer is, but why, and how far to trust it.
Every equation is derived rather than asserted. Variables are defined, units are tracked through every calculation, and each of the 95 worked examples shows the complete arithmetic. Where a value is taken from a compilation rather than derived, the book says so and says which compilation.
The development runs from the First and Second Laws, through chemical potential and solution behavior, to the construction of phase diagrams from free energy curves. It then applies that machinery to reaction equilibria, oxidation and reduction, slag-metal chemistry, extraction and refining, electrochemistry and corrosion, and finally to the iron-carbon system as an integrating case study. The closing chapter treats computational thermodynamics and the CALPHAD method, and explains what a calculated phase diagram actually rests on.
The book is equally clear about what thermodynamics cannot tell you. It gives no rates, no mechanisms, and no route from microstructure to mechanical properties, and it says so repeatedly rather than leaving the reader to discover the gap. That boundary is treated as part of the subject rather than an embarrassment.
Contents include:
Five parts across nineteen chapters, from foundations to computation
95 fully worked examples with complete calculations
Over 300 practice problems at five levels of difficulty, with answers
118 figures, all generated from the underlying thermodynamic data
Five appendices, a list of symbols, a glossary, and a bibliography annotated with what each source is good for
Suitable for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in metallurgical, materials and process engineering, and for practicing engineers who want the reasoning behind the handbook values.

If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
