Fundamental of Statistical and Thermal Physics – P. Is "Concepts in Thermal Physics", which was wirtten by my lecturer. Concepts In Thermal Physics Author: Stephen J. Elementary Statistical Physics – C. One of the simplest, and most difficult to grasp, concepts in elementary physics is that of "heat", and that is the starting point for the study of "thermal physics" or "thermophysics". Title says it all really, I'm a second year undergraduate from oxford, and currently the textbook i've been using for stat. B-10, an isotope of Boron has got a crossection of about 3840 barns for thermal neutrons and hence has got good importance in the field of radiation detectors. Part I introduces essential concepts of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics from a unified view, applying concepts in a select number of illustrative examples. The abundance of B-10 is only about 19%. Classical concepts of energy and temperature, basic definitions, first and second laws of thermodynamics, properties of pure substances, and equations of state. This text provides a balanced, well-organized treatment of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, making thermal physics interesting and accessible to anyone who has completed a year of calculus-based introductory physics.
