 Includes a large number of fully worked-out examples to help students master the concepts discussed. In addition, the text focuses on vapour-liquid and other phase equilibrium calculations, and analyzes chemical reaction equilibria and adiabatic reaction temperature for systems with complete and incomplete conversion of reactants. The book also includes detailed discussions on residual and excess properties of mixtures, various activity coefficient models, local composition models, and group contribution methods.

The text further discusses the concepts of exergy, standard property changes of chemical reactions, thermodynamic property relations and fugacity.

It elaborates on the first and second laws of thermodynamics and their applications with the help of numerous engineering examples. It provides a solid understanding of the basic concepts of the laws of thermodynamics as well as their applications with a thorough discussion of phase and chemical reaction equilibria.Īt the outset the text explains the various key terms of thermodynamics with suitable examples and then thoroughly deals with the virial and cubic equations of state by showing the P-V-T (pressure, molar volume and temperature) relation of fluids. This book offers a full account of thermodynamic systems in chemical engineering.
