Introductory Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics, 2nd Edition

About

Features

• Clear, colloquial, easy to use - and the only book in its market that focuses on the molecular perspective working engineers need
• Contains new MATLAB examples and tools, extensive new coverage of biochemical engineering and biomass conversions, and many other improvements
• Teaches molecular modeling and product design techniques that are rapidly being adopted in the marketplace
• Hierarchical instruction with increasing levels of detail: Content requiring deeper levels of theory is clearly delineated in separate sections and chapters
• Early introduction to the overall perspective of composite systems like distillation columns, reactive processes, and biological systems
• Learning objectives, problem-solving strategies for energy balances and phase equilibria, chapter summaries, and “important equations” for every chapter
• Extensive practical examples, especially coverage of non-ideal mixtures, which include water contamination via hydrocarbons, polymer blending/recycling, oxygenated fuels, hydrogen bonding, osmotic pressure, electrolyte solutions, zwitterions and biological molecules, and other contemporary issues

Description

New MATLAB examples and tools

In this book, two leading experts and long-time instructors thoroughly explain thermodynamics, taking the molecular perspective that working engineers require.

This edition contains extensive new coverage of today's fast-growing biochemical engineering applications, notably biomass conversion to fuels and chemicals. It also presents many new MATLAB examples and tools to complement its previous usage of Excel and other software.
