Phase Transformations is a comprehensive guide to understanding the principles and applications of phase transformations in chemical engineering. This book, part of the Chemical Engineering: Chemical Thermodynamics series, covers the fundamental concepts of phase transformations, including the thermodynamics and kinetics involved in the process.
The book begins by introducing the basic principles of phase transformations, such as the Gibbs phase rule and phase diagrams. It then delves into more advanced topics, such as nucleation and growth, diffusion-controlled transformations, and the effects of impurities on phase transformations.
Throughout the book, the authors provide clear explanations and examples to help readers grasp the complex concepts of phase transformations. They also discuss practical applications of phase transformations in various industries, such as materials science, pharmaceuticals, and food processing.
Phase Transformations is a valuable resource for chemical engineering students, researchers, and professionals looking to deepen their understanding of phase transformations and apply this knowledge to real-world problems.
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.
