Thermodynamics And Heat Engines e-bog

This textbook provides a unified understanding of concepts of thermodynamics and heat engines with their related applications. In this each chapters provides the theoretical basis of thermodynamics, including the laws, Fundamental Equation, Legendre transformations, and general equilibrium criteria. The main features of this book contain an extensive description of how thermodynamic properties are correlated, modeled, manipulated and estimated. Both macroscopic, empirically-based and molecularlevel approaches are discussed in-depth, for pure components and mixtures. Mostly all chapters in this book presents applications of 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.
