Thermodynamics Kinetic Theory and Statistical Thermodynamics

One of the best books on Thermal Physics. The book follows a logical and step by step procedure from one concept to another one.The only issue I have with this book is that it doesn't have any solved problems.This book is more focused on conceptual understanding.

This book was recommended to me as an extra reading by the head of my research team. Being an aerospace engineer, I had read books by Cengel and Shapiro on Thermodynamics previously. This book is in very contrast to other such books, the entire treatment is in a form of rational arguments which step by step take you to each laws. There are no solved examples and this is not such a great book for an engineering course (or even for a first course in the subject). I enjoyed reading it quite well.As for product in itself, I had bought the paperback version, and for that price the quality of paper and book was apt.

Very good book for beginner to intermediate level

it's the best book for understanding thermal physics....I use this alongside Garg-Bansal and PK Nag.

Good

Very lucid. Starts from the basics. Illustrations and graphs are mind blowing. 30 -35 ques at the end of every chapter that challenges your concepts. Recommended for UPSC and other competitive exams.

The book contains a wide range of details. Absolutely amazing to read.

4 stars for the content and printing and paper quality, 1 star deducted because the pastic attached with the cover is little bit torn, try to keep books in better position.

Good summary of thermodynamics.

Book cover was separated from the pages, aside from this, pages are almost like new! Great book!

Overcomplicated. The entire book. I'm not just talking rigorous... A good example is the two page proof that the number of microstates in n particles, if each can range from 0 to q, whereas the sum of all must add up to q, is n + q - 1 CHOOSE q. This can be proved (just as formally) in about 3 lines, while being much more intuitive!

"Thermodynamics, Kinetic Theory, and Statistical Thermodynamics (3rd Edition)" is an excellent text to learn the fundamentals. This text should be the text any Physics Professor uses. Do not be fooled by other texts. This one is the best. My professor now is trying to create his own text for Thermo, and it is horrible. Publishers need to be more honest to their clients!
