Description:
With the present emphasis on nano and bio technologies, molecular
level descriptions and understandings offered by statistical
mechanics are of increasing interest and importance. This text
emphasizes how statistical thermodynamics is and can be used by
chemical engineers and physical chemists. The text shows readers
the path from molecular level approximations to the applied,
macroscopic thermodynamic models engineers use, and introduces them
to molecular-level computer simulation.
Readers of this book will develop an appreciation for the beauty
and utility of statistical mechanics.
