Integrate chemistry, thermodynamics, and phase equilibria for high temperature analysis

Chemical behavior at high temperatures cannot be extrapolated from ambient-condition chemistry, yet materials scientists routinely confront processes where such knowledge is critical. Chemistry, Thermodynamics, and Phase Equilibria: Materials Behavior at High Temperatures, written by two Fellows of the American Ceramic Society, provides a working understanding through the integrated application of the three disciplines.

The book is organized into two general parts. The first rigorously covers the relevant chemistry, thermodynamics, and phase equilibria and demonstrates their individual use through solved example problems. The second part integrates and applies these core sciences to groupings of chemical reaction types and then addresses chemically complex systems. Also included in the second part are methods for creating thermodynamic databases, estimating unknown data, and representing solid and liquid solution behavior.

Readers will also find:

  • Application of core sciences to real materials problems spanning both constructive and destructive high temperature processes
  • Rigorous coverage of phase equilibria integrated with chemistry and thermodynamics rather than treated as an isolated discipline
  • Discussion of material synthesis, fabrication, and degradation scenarios involving metals, ceramics, composites, glasses, and coatings
  • Detailed treatment of chemically complex systems and systematic approaches to building thermodynamic databases for modeling material behavior
  • Example problems plus worked solutions together with homework problems embedded in the text for classroom and self-study use

Designed for materials science and engineering researchers, instructors, and advanced undergraduate and graduate students, this book serves both as a specialized course text for the thermodynamics of materials, chemical engineering thermodynamics, and phase equilibria at high temperatures. It also serves as a working reference for professionals developing or evaluating materials under extreme thermal conditions.
