    • English
    Introduction to Supercritical Fluids: A Spreadsheet-Based Approach, Second Edition provides an accessible overview of elementary supercritical fluid processes (including extraction, particle formation, heat exchangers, phase equilibrium, chemical reaction equilibrium) supported by easy-to-use Excel spreadsheets suitable for both specialized-discipli... (chemistry or chemical engineering student) and mixed-discipline (engineering/economi... student) classes. Each chapter contains worked examples, tip boxes and end-of-the-chapter problems and projects. Part I covers web-based chemical information resources, applications and simplified theory presented in a way that allows students of all disciplines to delve into the properties of supercritical fluids and to design energy, extraction and materials formation systems for real-world processes that use supercritical water or supercritical carbon dioxide. P Part II takes a practical approach and addresses the thermodynamic framework, equations of state, fluid phase equilibria, heat and mass transfer (newly added), chemical equilibria and also reaction kinetics (newly added) of supercritical fluids. Spreadsheets are arranged as Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) functions and macros that are completely (source code) accessible for students who have interest in developing their own programs. Programming is not required to solve problems or to complete projects in the text. Introduction to Supercritical Fluids, Second Edition is written primarily for graduate students and researchers in chemistry, chemical engineering, and materials science.

    Nucleation: Basic Theory with Applications, Second Edition updates the classic, highly cited introductory work by Dimo Kashchiev. It is a detailed and systematic account of the basic principles, developments, and applications of the theory of nucleation.The first two parts of the book describe in detail the two basic approaches in nucleation theory: thermodynamic and kinetic. They contain derivations of the basic and most important formulae of the theory and discuss their limitations and possibilities for improvement. The third part deals with some of the factors that can affect nucleation and is a natural continuation of the first two chapters. The last part is devoted to the application of the theory to processes of practical importance, such as melt crystallization and polymorphic transformation, crystal growth and growth of thin solid films, size distribution of droplets and crystallites in condensation and crystallization. Included is a new chapter on the formation of gas hydrates. Several appendices have also been added providing important contemporary results in nucleation theory.Nucleation: Basic Theory with Applications, Second Edition remains the go-to book for a foundational understanding of this distinct and important subdiscipline. It is written primarily for graduate and Ph.D. level students and tutors, as well as researchers or engineers across chemistry, physics, and materials science, with additional relevance to biochemists, biomedical engineers and energy and environmental scientists.
