Advanced Thermodynamics for Chemical Engineers
Book details
Summary
Description
Product Description A hands-on guide to advanced thermodynamics from a chemical engineering perspectiveThis practical textbook provides advanced chemical engineering students with the must-have knowledge needed to apply the principles of thermodynamics to a variety of systems and problems. Written by a seasoned chemical engineering academic, the book is presented in an integrated manner and features real-world examples and problems taken from contemporary engineering. Advanced Thermodynamics for Chemical Engineers begins with discussions on the applications of classical thermodynamic principles to equations of state, non-ideal solutions, and complex physical and chemical equilibria. From there, you will get discussions on more progressive topics, including statistical thermodynamics and irreversible or non-equilibrium thermodynamics, and group-contribution methods. The book concludes with a chapter on the use of computational chemistry to calculate thermodynamic parameters.Contains examples of applications in different disciplines, including biology, material science, and physicsFills a gap in the market by addressing topics that are somewhat lacking or seldom found elsewhereWritten by a chemical engineering educator and experienced author From the Publisher Dr. Joel R. Fried is professor and past chair of the Chemical Engineering Department at the University of Louisville, Professor Emeritus of the University of Cincinnati, and Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. He is an internationally recognized authority in the area of polymer science and engineering, and is the author of all three editions of Polymer Science and Technology. About the Author Dr. Joel R.
