Thermodynamics for Chemical Engineers Learn the basics of thermodynamics in this complete and
practice-oriented introduction for students of chemical engineering Thermodynamics is a vital
branch of physics that focuses upon the interaction of heat work and temperature with energy
radiation and matter. Thermodynamics can apply to a wide range of sciences but is
particularly important in chemical engineering where the interconnection of heat and work with
chemical reactions or physical changes of state are studied according to the laws of
thermodynamics. Moreover thermodynamics in chemical engineering focuses upon pure fluid and
mixture properties phase equilibrium and chemical reactions within the confines of the laws
of thermodynamics. Given that thermodynamics is an essential course of study in chemical and
petroleum engineering Thermodynamics for Chemical Engineers provides an important introduction
to the subject that comprehensively covers the topic in an easily-digestible manner. Suitable
for undergraduate and graduate students the text introduces the basic concepts of
thermodynamics thoroughly and concisely while providing practice-oriented examples and
illustrations. Thus the book helps students bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and
basic experiments and measurement characteristics. Thermodynamics for Chemical Engineers
readers will also find: * Practice-oriented examples to help students connect the learned
concepts to actual laboratory instruments and experiments * A broad suite of illustrations
throughout the text to help illuminate the information presented * Authors with decades working
in chemical engineering and teaching thermodynamics Thermodynamics for Chemical Engineers is
the ideal resource not just for undergraduate and graduate students in chemical and petroleum
engineering but also for anyone looking for a basic guide to thermodynamics.
