Self-Studying Thermal Physics: Seeking Recommended Books with Answers"

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenge of self-studying "Blundell Thermal Physics" due to the lack of provided answers for the problems. Participants recommend alternative textbooks that include solutions, highlighting "An Introduction to Thermal Physics" by Daniel V. Schroeder as a solid option. Additionally, Goodstein's new Thermal Physics book is mentioned as another excellent resource. These recommendations aim to assist in finding comprehensive study materials that support problem-solving in thermal physics.

I am self -studying "blundell thermal physics" . But,the answers of the problems are not given in the book.
So, can anyone recommend me other book with the answers?
I will be thankful to you for this.

Will "An Introduction to Thermal Physics by Daniel V. Schroeder" be a better option ?

Thanks.
 
The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
