The 8th edition of Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics is a comprehensive textbook that covers the fundamental principles of thermodynamics as they apply to chemical engineering. The book begins with an introduction to the basic concepts of thermodynamics, including energy, work, and heat transfer. It then delves into topics such as the first and second laws of thermodynamics, properties of pure substances, and the behavior of mixtures.
The text also covers phase equilibria, chemical reaction equilibrium, and the thermodynamic properties of gases, liquids, and solids. Throughout the book, the authors provide clear explanations of complex concepts and offer numerous examples and problems to help students apply their knowledge.
In addition to the theoretical aspects of thermodynamics, the book also discusses practical applications in chemical engineering, such as the design of chemical processes and the optimization of energy systems. Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics is a valuable resource for students and professionals in the field of chemical engineering, providing a solid foundation in thermodynamics principles and their practical applications.
This edition retains the full content with the added advantage of portability, allowing readers to easily access and engage with the material from any device, whether in a classroom or during fieldwork.
