Features: The book consists of five volumes, published between 1987 and 1989, and won the second prize in the National Excellent Teaching Materials Competition organized by the State Education Commission in 1992. It has been revised and republished based on the Teaching Syllabus for Advanced Physics Education for Junior High School Teachers issued by the State Education Commission in December 1991, and considering the teaching needs of teachers' colleges, education colleges, and correspondence courses. This volume is the thermodynamics section, covering topics such as general theory, the basic equations of the ideal gas state equation and gas molecular kinetic theory, statistical distribution laws of gas molecules, transport processes in gases, the laws of thermodynamics, the second law of thermodynamics, the properties of solids and liquids, and phase transitions. Each chapter includes thought-provoking questions and exercises. This book can serve as a teaching material for physics majors in satellite television education, teachers' colleges, education colleges, and correspondence courses, and is also available for reference by scientific and technological workers and self-learners.
