'Applied Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics' provides the undergraduate and graduate student of chemical engineering with the basic knowledge, the methodology and the references he needs to apply it in industrial practice. Thus, in addition to the classical topics of the laws of thermodynamics, pure component and mixture thermodynamic properties as well as phase and chemical equiplibria the reader will find: history of thermodynamics; energy conservation; internmolecular forces and molecular thermodynamics; cubic equations of state; and statistical mechanics. A number of calculated problems with solutions and an appendix with numerous tables of numbers of practical importance are extremely helpful for applied calculations. The computer programmes on the included disk should help the student to become familiar with the typical methods used in industry for volumetric and vaporliquid equilibria calculations.
