Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a critique of thermodynamics, especially as it relates to the deleterious effect of over-reliance on computational models. The author argues that, lacking in accuracy and reliability, these models can lead to costly design errors and reduce future research in fluid properties. The book examines the role of data in science and technology, with particular emphasis on the economic impact of accurate data and its effect on the design and operation of large process systems. The author argues for greater reliance on theoretical approaches to generic solutions to the future data requirements of the chemical process and energy industries. The book concludes by emphasizing the responsibility of data producers to ensure the efficient transfer of data to ultimate users.
