Preface
PrefaceThis book is intended for upper-level undergraduates and first-year graduate students in science and engineering. It is basically an introduction to the molecular foundations of thermodynamics and transport phenomena presented in a unified manner. The mathematical and physical science level sophistication are at the upper undergraduate level, and students who have been exposed to vector calculus, differential equations, and calculus-based physics should be adequately prepared to handle the material presented. There is also sufficient advanced material in each chapter or topic for first-year graduate students in science or engineering.The basic foundations of both (equilibriu…
