This textbook presents a rigorous introduction to classical thermodynamics, covering temperature, heat, gases, and thermodynamic processes. It develops the laws of thermodynamics, entropy, enthalpy, and free energies, applying them to phase changes, heat engines, chemical equilibrium, and real experiments, while linking theory to experimental measurement and applications.
