Looking for online Thermodynamics book or extended review

In summary, the conversation was about finding online resources for physics, specifically a post that was mentioned but could not be found. The person was looking for a good thermodynamics review, preferably free and online, to supplement their Physical Chemistry class. They mentioned using notes from a Princeton website for a previous class.

Hello. A long time ago there was a post here of all the resources that we can find online for physics. I tried to find it searching a little bit, with no luck. Anyway, if someone know about that post, let me know,

What I'm interested in is in a good thermodynamics review (or summary (?)). If it is available online (free) it would be better. I joined a class of Physical Chemistry, and I need a quick but in depth review of thermodynamics.

I love hyperphysics for concise overviews of lots of topics.

Last semester I used notes from http://pupgg.princeton.edu/~groth/phy301f05/index.html at Princeton to supplement my study with Kittel and Kroemer.

Hope these might help, there is plenty out there though.

Hello there,

Thank you for reaching out and expressing your interest in finding an online thermodynamics book or extended review. I understand the importance of having reliable and accessible resources for our studies and research.

I did a quick search and found some great online resources for thermodynamics. One option is the OpenStax Thermodynamics textbook, which is available for free online. It covers all the main topics in thermodynamics, including energy, entropy, and thermodynamic equilibrium.

Another good resource is the Khan Academy thermodynamics course, which offers video lectures and practice problems to help you better understand the concepts. Additionally, MIT OpenCourseWare has a collection of thermodynamics lecture notes and assignments from their physical chemistry course.

I hope these resources will be helpful for your studies. It's always a good idea to also check with your professor or classmates for any recommended textbooks or study materials specific to your course. Best of luck in your studies!
