Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics (9th International Edition) ISBN : 9781260597684

Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics presents comprehensive coverage of thermodynamics from a chemical engineering viewpoint. The text provides a thorough exposition of the principles of thermodynamics and details their application to chemical processes. The chapters are written in a clear, logically organized manner, and contain an abundance of realistic problems, examples, and illustrations to help students understand complex concepts. This text is structured to alternate between the development of thermodynamic principles and the correlation and use of thermodynamic properties as well as between theory and applications. 

To enhance student reading, the ninth edition now includes SmartBook® 2.0. SmartBook 2.0―Our adaptive reading experience has been made more personal, accessible, productive, and mobile.
