fundamenatals of chemical engineering Thermodynamics with Applications to Chemical Processes

摘要

This text offers an introduction to thermodynamics theory and calculations for chemical engineering students. The author employs extensive imagery to help students conceptualize equations, and illustrates thermodynamics concepts with some 200 examples from within and beyond chemical engineering. After introducing the laws of thermodynamics with applications to pure fluids, the book extends thermodynamics to mixtures, emphasizing phase and chemical equilibrium. Throughout, the author links thermodynamics to other key areas of chemical engineering, including separations, reactions, and capstone design. More than 300 end-of-chapter problems are included, ranging from basic calculations to realistic environmental applications.
