That's looking good. It contains much more math, I like maths rather than tons of text.vanhees71 said:H. B. Callen, Thermodynamics and an Introduction to

Classical thermodynamics is the study of the relationships between heat, work, and energy transfer in systems at the macroscopic level. It is based on a set of fundamental laws and principles that govern the behavior of thermodynamic systems.
Classical thermodynamics is important because it provides a framework for understanding and predicting the behavior of physical systems, such as engines, refrigerators, and power plants. It also has applications in fields such as chemistry, physics, and engineering.
Some popular books for learning classical thermodynamics include "Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach" by Yunus A. Cengel and Michael A. Boles, "Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics" by J.M. Smith, H.C. Van Ness, and M.M. Abbott, and "Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics" by Michael J. Moran and Howard N. Shapiro.
Prior knowledge of physics, particularly in the areas of mechanics and energy, is helpful for understanding classical thermodynamics. However, many introductory books on the subject provide a review of relevant physics concepts.
Yes, there are many online resources available for learning classical thermodynamics, such as lecture notes, videos, and interactive simulations. Some popular websites include Khan Academy, MIT OpenCourseWare, and HyperPhysics.
