Introduction to the thermodynamics of charged and polarized layers

Description

London — N.Y. — Sydney — Toronto: A Wiley-Interscience Publication, 1968. — XXIV + 258 p.: illus. — (Monographs in statistical physics and thermodynamics. Vol. 10).This handbook focuses on the complex processes and problems of organizational change and relates current knowledge of individual and group psychology to the understanding of the dynamics of change. Complementary and competing insights are presented as overviews of theory and research Offers helpful insights about choosing models and methods in specific situations Chapters by international authors of the highest quality.ContentsDefinition of the subjectGlobal ThermodynamicsLocal Formulation of ThermodynamicsLocal Balance Thermodynamics in Electrochemical SystemsHow Thermodynamic Relations Extend to systems for which the Permittivity depends on the Macroscopic FieldPressure in Polarized SystemsMechanical Equilibrium.
