An applied guide to chemical engineering thermodynamics for undergraduate and graduate students and professional engineers. Explains thermodynamics from an experimental perspective with emphasis on both the how and why of thermodynamic principles. Covers the First and Second Laws, PVT fluid behavior, equations of state, thermodynamic networks, heat effects, thermochemistry, equilibrium and stability, pure substance thermodynamics, phase equilibrium (VLE, LLE), chemical and complex chemical equilibrium, process thermodynamic analysis, and physicomechanical processes. Third edition adds new chapter on modeling thermodynamic systems and thorough treatment of complex chemical equilibriam. Contains over 500 problems.
