Atmospheric thermodynamics : elementary physics and chemistry / Gerald R. North and Tatiana L. Erukhimova. - Cambridge, UK ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2009. - xi, 267 p. : ill. ; 26 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 263-264) and index.
Introductory concepts -- Gases -- First Law of Thermodynamics -- Second Law of Thermodynamics -- Air and water -- Profiles of the atmosphere -- Thermodynamic charts -- Thermochemistry -- Thermodynamic equation -- Appendix A: Units and numerical values of constants -- Appendix B: Notation and abbreviations -- Appendix C: Answers for selected problems.
This textbook presents a uniquely integrated approach in linking both physics and chemistry to the study of atmospheric thermodynamics. It explains the classical laws of thermodynamics, focuses on various fluid systems, and devotes a chapter to chemical thermodynamics.
