The only textbook that applies thermodynamics to real-world process engineering problems This
must-read for advanced students and professionals alike is the first book to demonstrate how
chemical thermodynamics work in the real world by applying them to actual engineering examples.
It also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the particular models and procedures and
explains the most important models that are applied in process industry. All the topics are
illustrated with examples that are closely related to practical process simulation problems. At
the end of each chapter additional calculation examples are given to enable readers to extend
their comprehension. Chemical Thermodynamics for Process Simulation instructs on the behavior
of fluids for pure fluids describing the main types of equations of state and their abilities.
It discusses the various quantities of interest in process simulation their correlation and
prediction in detail. Chapters look at the important terms for the description of the
thermodynamics of mixtures the most important models and routes for phase equilibrium
calculation models which are applicable to a wide variety of non-electrolyte systems membrane
processes polymer thermodynamics enthalpy of reaction chemical equilibria and more.
-Explains thermodynamic fundamentals used in process simulation with solved examples -Includes
new chapters about modern measurement techniques retrograde condensation and simultaneous
description of chemical equilibrium -Comprises numerous solved examples which simplify the
understanding of the often complex calculation procedures and discusses advantages and
disadvantages of models and procedures -Includes estimation methods for thermophysical
properties and phase equilibria thermodynamics of alternative separation processes
-Supplemented with MathCAD-sheets and DDBST programs for readers to reproduce the examples
Chemical Thermodynamics for Process Simulation is an ideal resource for those working in the
fields of process development process synthesis or process optimization and an excellent
book for students in the engineering sciences.
