Equations of State of Solids in Geophysics and Ceramic Science Orson L. Anderson (Professor of Geophysics, Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Science, and Department of Earth and Space Sciences, Professor of Geophysics, Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Science, and Department of Earth and Space Sciences, University of California, Los Angeles)

Equations of State of Solids in Geophysics and Ceramic Science By Orson L. Anderson (Professor of Geophysics, Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Science, and Department of Earth and Space Sciences, Professor of Geophysics, Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Science, and Department of Earth and Space Sciences, University of California, Los Angeles)

Summary

Equations of state are of fundamental importance in studying the physics and chemistry of the Earth. This introduction to equations of state has many applications to ceramic sciences and solid Earth geophysics. Oxides and silicates, especially those with high density, are also examined.

Equations of State of Solids in Geophysics and Ceramic Science Summary

Equations of State of Solids in Geophysics and Ceramic Science by Orson L. Anderson (Professor of Geophysics, Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Science, and Department of Earth and Space Sciences, Professor of Geophysics, Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Science, and Department of Earth and Space Sciences, University of California, Los Angeles)

With important applications for ceramic sciences and solid earth geophysics, this book will be welcomed by all those in these fields. It describes in detail equations of state, which are fundamental in studying the physics and chemistry of the Earth. These represent the functional relationship between thermodynamic variables (pressure, volume, temperature) for solids. Oxides and silicates, especially those with high density, are examined.
