Riassunto

Based on the authors' graduate courses at MIT, this text and reference provides a unified understanding of both the critical concepts of chemical thermodynamics and their applications. Part I of this book provides the theoretical basis of classical thermodynamics, including the 1st and 2nd laws, the Fundamental Equation, Legendre transformations, and general equilibrium criteria. Part II contains an extensive description of how thermodynamic properties are correlated, modeled, manipulated and estimated. Both macroscopic, empirically-based and molecular-level approaches are discussed in-depth, for pure components and mixtures. New, detailed coverage shows how traditional macroscopic models are connected to their roots at the molecular level. Part III presents applications of classical thermodynamics in detail. The book connects theory with applications at every opportunity, using extensive examples, classroom problems and homework exercises. Chemical engineering and physical chemistry graduate courses in thermodynamics.

Product Description:

This text explores the theory, concepts and applications of classical thermodynamics and introduces a molecular-level perspective of constitutive property models for both electrolyte and non-electrolyte mixtures. Extensive examples and problems provide opportunities for connecting theory with applications. Material is divided into three major sections: fundamental principles - the theoretical basis of classical thermodynamics; thermodynamic properties - an extensive description of how thermodynamic properties are correlated, modelled, manipulated, and estimated; and applications - the applications of classical thermodynamics in detail. The text links molecular effects to constitutive property models using the principles of statistical mechanics and provides in-depth coverage of: constitutive property models for non-ideal fluids - including a statistical mechanics basis; van der Waals and McMillan-Mayer theories; local composition concepts and electrolyte solutions; and volumetric equations of state and activity coefficient models for non-electrolyte mixtures.
