Written for general physics courses that emphasize temperature-dependent phenomena, this text deals with large-scale thermal phenomena and then proceeds to small-scale less accessible phenomena. Examples of calculations are presented after important formulas are derived, and actual thermodynamic experiments are explained in detail.

Excellent book for the Physics students,
By A Customer
This review is from: Heat and Thermodynamics: An Intermediate Textbook (Hardcover)
The is by far the best book on thermodynamics that I have read.It is often called as "the Bible" of Physics by students who are studying Physics at the undergradute and postgraduate level in Indian universities.Most concepts can be understood which can clear the doubts in the students mind.Such a book is very essential for them.

A Quality Book on Thermodynamics,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Heat and Thermodynamics (Hardcover)
I used this book in my undergraduate thermodynamics/statistical mechanics course. I found it to be quite good. It's fairly easy to read and provides enough detail to give the reader a good understanding of the material.
The exercises are challenging enough to be useful, but not so difficult as to leave the reader feeling hopeless. I don't recall coming across many (if any) errors in the text or in the solutions. Perhaps the other reviewers who found lots of problems simply didn't understand how to arrive at the correct answer.

Decent With a Few Flaws,
By Jared (Stanford, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Heat and Thermodynamics (Hardcover)
The book is a decent first course on thermodynamics. My main issue with it was that most of the 'problems' were trivial exercises in algebra, although a few were worthwhile. Parts of the book were dull, but some sections were quite interesting. I found there to be fewer errors than some of the other reviews might lead you to believe.
