Synopses & Reviews
A revised edition of the well-received thermodynamics text, this work retains the thorough coverage and excellent organization that made the first edition so popular. Now incorporates industrially relevant microcomputer programs, with which readers can perform sophisticated thermodynamic calculations, including calculations of the type they will encounter in the lab and in industry. Also provides a unified treatment of phase equilibria. Emphasis is on analysis and prediction of liquid-liquid and vapor-liquid equilibria, solubility of gases and solids in liquids, solubility of liquids and solids in gases and supercritical fluids, freezing point depressions and osmotic equilibria, as well as traditional vapor-liquid and chemical reaction equilibria. Contains many new illustrations and exercises.
