Phase Equilibria, Phase Diagrams and Phase Transformations by Mats Hillert
This textbook deals with the theoretical basis of chemical equilibria and chemical changes and emphasises the properties of phase diagrams. A feature of the book is the author's treatment of the field from a modern perspective, taking into account the dramatic changes in the methods of applying thermodynamics caused by the development both of computer programs for sophisticated equilibrium calculations, and of extensive databases containing thermodynamic parameter values for individual phases from which all thermodynamic properties may be calculated. This new situation has inspired a new approach to the teaching of basic thermodynamics. Illustrative examples of thermodynamic modelling are also given, and the book contains many exercises and worked solutions. This modern text will be a useful supplement to traditional thermodynamics texts for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in materials science and chemistry.
'To sum up, for students of chemistry wishing to apply themselves to problems of the material sciences, this book provides an excellent foundation for understanding the thermodynamics of complex systemsIt also offers much useful information for scientists who want to be able to handle problems of multicomponent systems, provided they will take the trouble to work through the text carefully to identify the formulas used, despite the shortage of cross-references.'
