Description
Rigorous and comprehensive in approach, this text explores the theory, concepts and applications of classical thermodynamics and introduces a molecular-level perspective of constitutive property models for both electrolyte and non-electrolyte mixtures. Extensive examples and problems provide ample opportunities for connecting theory with applications.
New to this Edition
Divides material into three major sections-Fundamental Principles-presents the theoretical basis of classical thermodynamics; Thermodynamic Properties-contains an extensive description of how thermodynamic properties are correlated, modeled, manipulated, and estimated; and Applications-explores applications of classical thermodynamics in detail.
Links molecular effects to constitutive property models using the principles of statistical mechanics-Provides in-depth coverage of Constitutive property models for non-ideal fluids including a statistical mechanics basis; van der Waals and McMillan-Mayer theories; Local composition concepts and electrolyte solutions; Volumetric equations of state and activity coefficient models for non-electrolyte mixtures.
Covers the latest constitutive property models used by practicing chemical engineers and chemists.
Contains a new chapter on practical heat engines and power cycles-Emphasizes the use of availability and energy concepts andother processes for assessing performance. Considers other heat-to-work conversions.
Includes a new chapter that treats combined phase and chemical equilibria problems using a robust vectorized approach that is completely general.
Revises coverage of electromagnetic fields.
Uses enhanced graphics in the treatment of the Fundamental Equation to illustrate the geometric features of the USV Gibbs surface.
Contains a better derivation of Legender transformations, and descriptions of other mathematical methods for manipulating thermodynamic properties and their properties.
Offers more example problems and new homework problems.
Revises notation to provide better compatibility with the notation students are familiar with in undergraduate-level texts.
