TY - CHAP AU - Lin Li ED - Ricardo Morales-Rodriguez Y1 - 2012-10-03 PY - 2012 T1 - Application of Thermodynamics and Kinetics in Materials Engineering N2 - This book presents the selection of various high level contributions involving thermodynamics. The book goes from the fundamentals up to several applications in different scientific fields. The content of the book has been classified in six sections: Classical Thermodynamics, Statistical Thermodynamics, Property Prediction in Thermodynamics, Material and Products, Non Equilibrium and Thermodynamics in Diverse Areas. The classification of the book aims to provide to the reader the facility of finding the desired topic included in the book. It is expected that this collection of chapters will contribute to the state of the art in the thermodynamics area.
