This textbook supplements, modernizes, and updates thermodynamics courses for both advanced undergraduates and graduate students by introducing the contemporary topics of statistical mechanics such as molecular simulation and liquid-state methods with a variety of realistic examples from the emerging areas of chemical and materials engineering. Current curriculum does not provide the necessary preparations required for a comprehensive understanding of these powerful tools for engineering applications. This text presents not only the fundamental ideas but also theoretical developments in molecular simulation and analytical methods to engineering students by illustrating why these topics are of pressing interest in modern high-tech applications.

This textbook emphasizes two major universal features that must be introduced into the traditional thermodynamic framework in order to address mesoscopic phenomena. These features are fluctuations and local (coordinate dependent) properties. To make the text self-sufficient for the readers, Part I also includes a brief description of classical equilibrium and nonequilibrium thermodynamics (Chapter 2). Chapter 2 serves as a background and guidance to the core material of the book but cannot substitute a comprehensive textbook on thermodynamics. In Part II, a universal thermodynamic approach to meso-heterogeneous systems is specified through examples, which are relevant to the modern research and engineering practice. Most examples deal with meso-heterogeneous fluid systems. Meso-heterogeneous solids and glassy states, while being important both fundamentally and practically, are touched only briefly. Each chapter in both parts is supplemented by exercises. All chapters include references to textbooks, monographs, or journal research articles for further, more advanced reading.
