About this book
Thermal Physics is written for students studing the core Thermal Physics/Thermodynamics modules(s) at 2nd/3rd year UK undergraduate level. Thermal Physics deals with the transfer of energy to, from and between macroscopic bodies. The early chapters-examine the nature of these interactions before the laws of thermodynamics are developed. In this way the student is introduced to the concepts before encountering detailed mathematics. The final chapters discuss the important topics of kinetic theory and heat transfer.
