Assael [et al.]  a2nd ed.  aBoca Raton : bCRC Press, c2022.  axxxv, 461p.   aDesigned for a wide audience, from students and researchers to practicing professionals in related areas, this book is organized in a user friendly Question and Answer format. Presented questions become increasingly specific throughout the book, with clear and concise answers, as well as illustrations, diagrams, and tables are incorporated wherever helpful. Thermodynamics is a core discipline associated with the theoretical principles and practical applications underlying almost every area of science, from nanoscale biochemical engineering to astrophysics. Highlighting chemical thermodynamics in particular, this book is written in an easy-to-understand style and provides a wealth of fundamental information, simple illustrations, and extensive references for further research and collection of specific data. Designed for an audience that ranges from undergraduate students to scientists and engineers at the forefront of research, this indispensable guide presents clear explanations for topics with wide applicability. It reflects the fact that, very often, the most common questions are also the most profound 0aThermodynamics 4aStatistical thermodynamics 4aSolar thermal energy 4aThermodynamics--Mathematical models
