From the Back Cover:

8741A-5

The first chemical engineering thermodynamics text for the computer age.

Chemical and Process Thermodynamics, Third Edition is an example-rich guide to chemical engineering thermodynamics that focuses on current techniques, new applications, and today's revolutionary computerized tools. You'll discover both the "how" and "why" of chemical engineering thermodynamics, and dramatically improve your problem-solving effectiveness with an extensive collection of sophisticated PC software. In this book/CD-ROM package, the software isn't just a useful adjunct: its use is thoroughly integrated into the text and amply illustrated with worked examples. Coverage includes:

The 1st and 2nd Laws of Thermodynamics
Fluid behavior and thermodynamic networks
Heat effects, equilibrium and stability
Phase equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium
Thermodynamic analysis of processes, physicomechanical processes and more
This brand-new Third Edition reflects newly-developed techniques and applications, includes a thorough treatment of complex chemical equilibria, and contains an entirely new chapter on the philosophy and practice of modeling thermodynamic systems. With many examples and over 500 problems, Chemical and Process Thermodynamics, Third Edition is the text of choice for professional chemical engineers, graduate and undergraduate students alike.

CD-ROM INCLUDED

The companion CD-ROM contains nine executable programs and three spreadsheets for carrying out professional-level calculations; POLYMATH numerical analysis software; EQUATIONS OF STATE software for visualizing thermodynamic processes on 3D PVT diagrams; supplemented text on statistical entropy; and more.

Synopsis:

Covering chemical engineering thermodynamics, this work explores the underlying rationale and theory. The focus is on learning the why and the how of thermodynamics through worked examles. This edition has been updated to include computer related material, with software tools and problems.
