Abstract
The accompanying table at the end of the volume summarises the structure and contents of the book. It has nine rows representing the chapters and three columns in which principles and concepts are consecutively postulated or applied. The first two of the nine chapters deal with principles and first deductions, the next three with property relations (PR’s) of systems at equilibrium and the last four with balance equations (BE’s) of systems distinct by the way their properties change with time and place. Column 1 involves mole numbers, masses and generalised extensive properties, column 2 the fundamental extensives momentum, energy and entropy and column 3 the phenomenological laws on asymptotic phase behaviour and molecular transport.
