MT 202: Metallurgical Thermodynamics

Principal text for the course

• C.H.P. Lupis, Chemical thermodynamics of materials Elsevier Science, 1982.

Other texts

In addition, I list below a few other texts at different levels. Note that quite a few of them are on physical chemistry; this should not be surprising, since the treatment of thermodynamics in this subject is the closest to that in our course. I strongly urge you to consult some of these other sources also, so that you benefit from a diversity of viewpoints.

In particular, check out the inexpensive Indian editions of the (undergraduate level) texts by Atkins and DePaula, and by Laidler and Meiser; both the books are very good.
