Book Discription:
Biological Thermodynamics provides an introduction to the study of energy transformations for students of the biological sciences. Donald Haynie uses an informal writing style to introduce this core subject in a manner that will appeal to biology and biochemistry undergraduate students. The emphasis of the text is placed on understanding basic concepts and developing problem-solving skills throughout the text. The level of mathematical complexity is kept to a minimum. Each chapter provides numerous examples taken from different areas of biochemistry, as well as extensive exercises to aid understanding. Topics covered include energy and its transformation, the First Law of Thermodynamics, the Second Law of Thermodynamics, Gibbs Free Energy, statistical thermodynamics, binding equilibria and reaction kinetics, and a survey of the most exciting areas of biological thermodynamics today, particularly the origin of life on Earth.

Engineering Thermodynamics

Fundamental of Engineering Thermodynamics

This book provides the tools needed by specialists working in all such fields. For non-specialists, the book provides background for making decisions about technology related to thermodynamics-on the job and as informed citizens. The sixth edition considers many of these new applications while retaining the basic organization and level of the previous editions. Several enhancements to improve student learning have been introduced. Included are new text elements and interior design features that help students to better understand and apply the subject matter. With this edition we continue our effective pedagogy. clear and concise presentations at a level appropriate for college sophomores and juniors, sound developments of the fundamentals. and state-of-the-art engineering applications. Thermodyamics became a formal area of study in the nineteenth century through consideration of the capacity of hot bodies 10 produce work. Throughout the twentieth century engineering applications of thermodynamics helped pave the way for Increased hum.an well being with advances in major areas such as transportation, power generation, and heating/cooling of buildings. In the twenty-first century, thermodynamics will continue to provide concepts and methods essential for addressing critical societal issues.

Thermodynamics of Pharmaceutical Systems:
An Introduction for Students of Pharmacy

Studies of thermodynamics often fail to demonstrate how the mathematical intricacies of the subject relate to practical laboratory applications. Thermodynamics of Pharmaceutical Systems makes these connections clear, emphasizing specific applications to pharmaceutical systems in a study created
specifically for contemporary curriculums at colleges of pharmacy. Students investigating drug discovery, drug delivery, and drug action will benefit from Kenneth Connors’s authoritative treatment of the fundamentals of thermodynamics as well as his attention to drug molecules and experimental considerations. An extensive appendix that reviews the mathematics
needed to master the pharmacy curriculum proves an invaluable reference. Connors divides his one-of -a-kind text into three sections: Basic Thermodynamics, Thermodynamics of Physical Processes, and
Thermodynamics of Chemical Processes;
chapters include:
Energy and the First Law of Thermodynamics
The Entropy Concept
Phase Transformations
Solubility
Acid-Base Equilibria
Noncovalent Binding Equilibria Thermodynamics need not be a mystery nor be confined to the realm of mathematical theory.
Thermodynamics of Pharmaceutical Systems introduces students of pharmacy to the profound
thermodynamic applications in the laboratory while also serving as a handy resource for practicing
researchers.
