The Thermodynamics of Phase and Reaction Equilibria, Second Edition, provides a sound foundation for understanding abstract concepts of phase and reaction equilibria (e.g., partial molar Gibbs energy, fugacity, and activity), and shows how to apply these concepts to solve practical problems using numerous clear examples. Available computational software has made it possible for students to tackle realistic and challenging problems from industry. The second edition incorporates phase equilibrium problems dealing with nonideal mixtures containing more than two components and chemical reaction equilibrium problems involving multiple reactions. Computations are carried out with the help of Mathcad.
Clear layout, coherent and logical organization of the content, and presentation suitable for self-study
Provides analytical equations in dimensionless form for the calculation of changes in internal energy, enthalpy, and entropy as well as departure functions and fugacity coefficients
All chapters have been updated primarily through new examples
Includes many well-organized problems (with answers), which are extensions of the examples enabling conceptual understanding for quantitative/real problem solving
Provides Mathcad worksheets and subroutines
Includes a new chapter linking thermodynamics with reaction engineering
A complete Instructors Solutions Manual is available as a textbook resource
Helps students and researchers grasp abstract concepts of phase and reaction equilibria so they can apply fundamentals to practical problems--This text refers to the hardcover edition.
