Thermodynamics of Chemical Systems



Thermodynamics of Chemical Systems
Scott Emerson Wood,Rubin Battino | 1990-03-30 00:00:00 | Cambridge University Press | 460 | Physical Chemistry
The concepts and relations pertinent to the solution of many thermodynamic problems encountered in multi-phase, multi-component systems are developed in this volume. Emphasis is placed on a comprehension and development of general expressions for solving such problems, rather than ready-made equations for particular applications. The first half of the book is devoted to defining the thermodynamic functions and to generating the fundamental relations relevant to chemical systems at equilibrium. The second half concentrates on the application of these relations to real systems and the methods which can be used to obtain additional connections. Throughout, the methods of Gibbs are used with emphasis on the chemical potential.

Comprehensive Mass Metrology



Comprehensive Mass Metrology
Manfred Kochsiek,Michael Gläser | 2000-02-22 00:00:00 | Wiley-VCH | 561 | Physical Chemistry
Mass determination is of fundamental importance for science, technology and economics. Technical measuring systems range from ultramicro balances to weighing machines for freight trains; massive objects range from subatomic particles to galaxies. Comprehensive and topical, this reference work - edited by scientists of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Germany - covers the whole field of mass determination. Starting from physical foundations, it describes virtually all measurement techniques in detail and gives a thorough overview over scientific experiments related to the determination of mass. Reports on contemporary problems, such as a new definition of the kilogram, historical excursions and an unparalleled list of references make this book an absolute must for everyone dealing with questions relating to mass determination in fundamental research, technical application, calibration service, and standardization, and also for teachers and historians.
