Description
CBS PUBLICATION A Textbook Of Statistical Mechanics, 2Nd Edition by Chandra S
Statistical mechanics is one of the fundamental papers for MSc Physics and MSc Chemistry courses and this title can be used as a textbook for these courses. The topics• Thermodynamics, • Microcanonical ensemble, • Canonical ensemble, Grand canonical ensemble, • Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, • Fermi-Dirac distribution, • Bose-Einstein distribution for an ideal gas are discussed in a systematic manner by using simple language. The discussion is extended to account for interaction among the constituent particles of a real gas and the phase transitions for a matter. Finally, the kinetic and dynamical theories of gases are discussed. Each of the topics is developed in a systematic manner and is supported by exercises.
