Equilibrium thermodynamics — Callen’s postulational approach [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics, 2001
In order to provide the background for nonequilibrium thermodynamics, we outline the fundamentals of equilibrium thermodynamics. Equilibrium thermodynamics must not only be obtained as a special case of any acceptable nonequilibrium generalization but ...

Equilibrium Thermodynamics

1994
The ideas which we shall present in the remainder of this book are intimately connected with thermodynamics. In order to describe the various transport processes in structured continua, one must first build a solid foundation of equilibrium thermodynamics upon which to base further development.

On the Quantum Correction for Thermodynamic Equilibrium

Physical Review, 1932
The probability of a configuration is given in classical theory by the Boltzmann formula $\mathrm{exp}[\ensuremath{-}\frac{V}{\mathrm{hT}}]$ where $V$ is the potential energy of this configuration. For high temperatures this of course also holds in quantum theory.

Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics

2013
In the preceding chapters with few exceptions we studied systems at equilibrium. This means that the systems do not change or evolve over time.

Equilibrium Thermodynamics

1983
Equilibrium Thermodynamics gives a comprehensive but concise course in the fundamentals of classical thermodynamics. Although the subject is essentially classical in nature, illustrative material is drawn widely from modern physics and free use is made of microscopic ideas to illuminate it.

Thermodynamics and Equilibrium

2010
Thermodynamics takes its name from the Greek for ‘movement of heat’ and is the science concerned with the interchange of energy, particularly that between thermal energy and mechanical work. Thermodynamics is concerned with systems which have come to equilibrium and not with the rate at which equilibrium is achieved.
