Request a sales quoteEngineering Thermodynamics for Chemical Engineers and its companion volume Chemical Thermodynamics for Chemical Engineers have been written to help teach engineering thermodynamics and chemical thermodynamics in a manner that is attractive to modern undergraduate chemical engineering students. This volume presents a systematic and manageable treatment of Chemical Thermodynamics. Differing from current available texts, this book helps students to master the content in a number of newer ways, such as removing material that is superfluous to modern studies in Engineering Thermodynamics, presenting the material in a form that continually reinforces the key concepts to aid comprehension, supplementing the material with a great many simple but incisive fully worked examples in a process engineering context, providing a great many examination questions of a nominal length of 30 minutes, and by pointing out and rectifying, through the use of special inserts, common student mistakes and misconceptions gathered by the author over several years of teaching. Intended for the second sequence of a two sequence course in chemical engineering thermodynamics.
