The total number of solved examples and end-chapter exercises in the book are over 600. Provides well-graded problems with answers at the end of each chapter to test and foster students’ conceptual understanding of the subject. key Features Includes a large number of fully worked-out examples to help students master the concepts discussed. In addition, the text focuses on vapour-liquid and other phase equilibrium calculations, and analyzes chemical reaction equilibria and adiabatic reaction temperature for systems with complete and incomplete conversion of reactants. The book also includes detailed discussions on residual and excess properties of mixtures, various activity coefficient models, local composition models, and group contribution methods. The text further discusses the concepts of exergy, standard property changes of chemical reactions, thermodynamic property relations and fugacity. It elaborates on the first and second laws of thermodynamics and their applications with the help of numerous engineering examples. At the outset the text explains the various key terms of thermodynamics with suitable examples and then thoroughly deals with the virial and cubic equations of state by showing the P-V-T (pressure, molar volume and temperature) relation of fluids. It provides a solid understanding of the basic concepts of the laws of thermodynamics as well as their applications with a thorough discussion of phase and chemical reaction equilibria. This text is distinctive in making molecular perspectives accessible at the introductory level and connecting properties with practical implications.This book offers a full account of thermodynamic systems in chemical engineering. Introductory Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics, Second Edition, helps readers master the fundamentals of applied thermodynamics as practiced today: with extensive development of molecular perspectives that enables adaptation to fields including biological systems, environmental applications, and nanotechnology.
