Solved Problems in Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics This book contains a modern selection of about 230 solved problems and examples arranged in a didactic way for hands on experience with course work in a standard advanced undergraduate first year graduate class in thermodynamics and statistical physics. The principles of thermodynamics and equilibrium statistical physics are few and simple but their application often proves more involved than it may seem at first sight. This book is a comprehensive complement to any textbook in the field emphasizing the analogies between the different systems and paves the way for an in depth study of solid state physics soft matter physics and field theory Part I: Thermodynamics Equation of state The first law The second law Thermodynamic potentials Phase transitions Mixtures Transport phenomena Part II: Statistical physics Classical canonical ensemble Equation of state Entropy Quantum canonical ensemble Grand canonical ensemble Kinetic theory of gases A: Steam tables B: Metropolis algorithm
