Features: Chemical Plant Energy Saving Knowledge introduces the basic principles and applications of energy saving in chemical industry. The book is divided into five chapters. Chapter 1 is the Introduction, Chapter 2 discusses the energy balance of steady-flow systems, elaborating on the laws of thermodynamics and their applications in steady-flow systems, as well as introducing the calculation of thermodynamic properties of real gases. Chapter 3 discusses the basic principles of chemical industry energy saving. By discussing the second law of thermodynamics, the nature of energy loss is studied, and a modern energy utilization theory combining the first and second laws of thermodynamics is established. Chapters 2 and 3 form the theoretical foundation of the book. Chapter 4 introduces methods for thermodynamic analysis of chemical processes using basic thermodynamic principles, and conducts thermodynamic analyses of typical chemical unit processes and chemical production plants, which are applications of the basic principles of chemical industry energy saving. Chapter 5 is an introduction to energy-saving technologies in chemical enterprises, discussing how to rationally utilize energy and introducing several mature new energy-saving technologies in chemical industry.
