Thermodynamics in earth and planetary sciences

By:

Ganguly, Jibamitra

Publication details: Springer, 2020. Berlin:Edition: 2ndDescription: xxxiii; 610 p. hb; 24 cmISBN:

Subject(s):

DDC classification:

551.9 GAN

Summary: This book provides exposition of a large spectrum of geological, geochemical and geophysical problems that are amenable to thermodynamic analysis. It also includes selected problems in planetary sciences, relationships between thermodynamics and microscopic properties, particle size effects, methods of approximation of thermodynamic properties of minerals, and some kinetic ramifications of entropy production. Many of these features are frequently missing in textbooks, but are very important with respect to problems in Earth and Planetary Sciences. The textbook will enable graduate students and researchers alike to develop an appreciation of the fundamental principles of thermodynamics, and their wide ranging applications to natural processes and systems.
