This book offers a balanced, modern introduction that is rigorous enough for engineering students yet intuitive and accessible for those in applied physics and related disciplines. Core topics such as irreversibility, non-quasistatic processes, and spontaneity, which are often treated vaguely or in non-intuitive ways, are developed here in a systematic, sequential manner. Concepts are introduced through simple examples and then expanded step-by-step, allowing the reader to build understanding gradually while still achieving conceptual rigor.

Key Features:

Essential concepts of thermodynamics from more general to specific use cases.
Emphasis on practical use of thermodynamic concepts (and, as mentioned earlier, a thorough discussion of the irreversible process).
A unique way to learn about chemical and physical phase changes in a reaction by describing them as a thermodynamic process.
A course text with broad relevance across Applied Physics; Advanced Technology (engineering programmes); Mechanical Engineering; and Chemical Engineering
