I am pretty sorry I took so long to post but got a bit caught up.
Any case, thanks for all these suggestions. I will go through the books and enjoy learning !
Thanks !
It's nothing like that but I would like a deep reading of the subject - after all I would like to choose an academic field rather than an engineering field. Physics, in general, and thermodynamics, in particular, is fascinating and that's why I would like to get an understanding of the subject.
Yes I know about Peter Atkins's book, I was just wondering if it was good. Regarding the other question , I would like a book leaning more towards statistical mechanics. If I am not wrong , Cengel's book has more of an engineering centred approach , hasn't it ?
Thank you for the suggestions .
By the way, Daverz I have finished both Resnick and Halliday and Young and Freedman.
What is 'Y C' though ?I searched the net but found only YVC Rao , is that what you meant ?
Also , I had forgotten but on my physics instructors advice I have been reading...
Hello!
I am a high school student and I would need some guidance regarding a thermodynamics book. I am reading and solving through these three:
1.Resnick,Halliday and Walker
2.University Physics- Young and Freedman
3.An introduction to mechanics-Kleppner and Kolenkow(purely for mechanics)
Based...
Um..is the path 1 to 2 isothermal ?
The OP has traced out a straight line instead of the hyperbolic curve for isotherms.Can we still consider it to be isothermal ?
I think some information has been left out.
Homework Statement
[/B]
An ideal gas is compressed to the same volume from the same initial state for both an adiabatic and an isothermal process. In which case will more work be done ?
2. Homework Equations
##dU=dQ - dW ##
##W=\int P\,dV ##(For isothermal)
##W=nc_vdT##...
Hello, I would like to begin by saying that this does not fall into any homework or course work for me. It is just my interest.
I need to prove that limit of a constant gives the constant it self. Can some one provide a link? I have exams or I would have searched myself but unfortunately I don't...
I am a novice and new to bonding and there are a few clarifications I need.
1) Does a single covalent bond always mean a sigma bond?
2) Does a double covalent bond always mean 1 sigma and 1 pi?
3) And does a triple covalent bond always mean 1 sigma and 2 pi bonds?
I have considered that choice also.
In here engineering and medical are the professions most in demand.Everyone wants to be an engineer or a doctor and earn a lot of money.
I actually am not very fond of these areas especially engineering and that's why I want to do something else,something...
