can someone recommend some books for thermodynamics for a materials science engineering student?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
By Swalin his book on Thermondyanmics of Solids 2nd edition I found to be a good read if you are a material engineer. It is the only book I read on the subject for a graduate class I audited in Ceramics Engineering on Thermodynamics of materials.
 
Callen Thermodynamics and an Introduction to Thermostatistics.
 
thank you very much~
