This is an example-rich guide to chemical engineering thermodynamics that focuses on current techniques, new applications, and today's revolutionary computer tools. The sequentially organized book helps in discovering both the &ldquohow" and &ldquowhy" of chemical engineering thermodynamics, and helps to improve the problem-solving effectiveness with an extensive collection of sophisticated PC software. This brand new third edition reflects newly-developed techniques and applications and includes a thorough treatment of complex chemical equilibria as well as philosophy and practice of modeling thermodynamic systems. CD-ROM: The accompanying CD-ROM contains nine executable programs, three spreadsheets for professional calculations, POLYMATH numerical analysis software, and EQUATIONS OF STATE software for thermodynamic process visualization on 3D PVT diagrams.
