Description

This book provides a comprehensive exploration of the fundamental principles of thermodynamics and kinetics in materials science, offering a balanced integration of theoretical frameworks, computational methodologies, and real-world applications. Covering both equilibrium and non-equilibrium thermodynamics, it introduces key concepts such as thermodynamic laws, phase diagrams, reaction kinetics, and transport phenomena.

A distinctive feature of this book is its dedicated coverage of computational thermodynamics and kinetics, including CALPHAD modeling, Monte Carlo simulations, phase-field methods, and coupled thermodynamics-kinetics approaches. These topics are critical for understanding the behavior of materials in complex, real-world conditions. Additionally, the book examines capillarity-driven morphological evolution, microstructural coarsening, and diffusion mechanisms, all of which are fundamental to material design and processing.

Designed as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as a reference for researchers and professionals, this book provides a structured approach to mastering thermodynamics and kinetics in materials science. The integration of theoretical foundations with computational techniques ensures that readers develop a robust, application-oriented understanding of the subject.
