Synopsis

An applications oriented text, this revised edition includes new techniques and now has expanded coverage of Van der Waals equations of state, behaviour of weak and strong electrolytes in aqueous solutions, applications of thermodynamics in biochemical engineering, applications in the area of electronics material processing involving phase equilibrium and chemical equilibrium in the presence of solid phases, and parameter estimation of activity coefficient equations. A dikette is included with computer programs for computations. This book should be appropriate for chemical engineering professionals and researchers.

About this title

From the Publisher

This book/disk package explains the rationale of thermodynamics from an experimental perspective.

From the Back Cover

The first chemical engineering thermodynamics text for the computer age.

Chemical and Process Thermodynamics, Third Edition is an example-rich guide to chemical engineering thermodynamics that focuses on current techniques, new applications, and today's revolutionary computerized tools. You'll discover both the "how" and "why" of chemical engineering thermodynamics, and dramatically improve your problem-solving effectiveness with an extensive collection of sophisticated PC software. In this book/CD-ROM package, the software isn't just a useful adjunct: its use is thoroughly integrated into the text and amply illustrated with worked examples. Coverage includes:

• The 1st and 2nd Laws of Thermodynamics
• Fluid behavior and thermodynamic networks
• Heat effects, equilibrium and stability
• Phase equilibrium
• Chemical equilibrium
• Thermodynamic analysis of processes, physicomechanical processes and more
• This brand-new Third Edition reflects newly-developed techniques and applications, includes a thorough treatment of complex chemical equilibria, and contains an entirely new chapter on the philosophy and practice of modeling thermodynamic systems. With many examples and over 500 problems, Chemical and Process Thermodynamics, Third Edition is the text of choice for professional chemical engineers, graduate and undergraduate students alike.

CD-ROM INCLUDED

The companion CD-ROM contains nine executable programs and three spreadsheets for carrying out professional-level calculations; POLYMATH numerical analysis software; EQUATIONS OF STATE software for visualizing thermodynamic processes on 3D PVT diagrams; supplemented text on statistical entropy; and more.
