A comprehensive undergraduate and postgraduate textbook of chemical engineering thermodynamics by an IIT faculty member, providing full coverage of thermodynamic systems in chemical engineering. The text opens with key terminology and proceeds through equations of state (virial and cubic), PVT relations of fluids, the First and Second Laws with engineering applications, and the concept of exergy. Chemical reaction standard property changes, thermodynamic property relations of pure substances, and thermodynamic cycles are covered before an advanced treatment of residual and excess properties, mixture properties, fugacity of components in mixtures by equations of state, and activity coefficient models, including local composition and group contribution methods. Subsequent chapters address vapour-liquid and other phase equilibria, chemical reaction equilibria, and adiabatic reaction temperature for complete and incomplete conversion of reactants. Each chapter is supported by numerous engineering examples and problems.
