This book 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. It also presents
numerical methods necessary for solving real-world problems as well the basic mathematics
needed facilitating its use as a self-study reference work. In the example problems requiring
MATHCAD® for the solution the results of the intermediate steps are given enabling the reader
to easily track mistakes and understand the order of magnitude of the various quantities
involved.
