Features: The book is structured into two main parts: Chapters 2 to 4 introduce fundamental thermophysical properties and engineering thermodynamics, while Chapters 5 to 8 cover chemical thermodynamics. In Chapter 1, "Introduction," the scope and historical development of thermodynamics, as well as the content, applications, and learning objectives of the course, are primarily discussed. Chapter 2, "pVT Relations of Fluids," discusses the state equations of single-component fluids and gas mixtures, which form the foundation of thermodynamic property models. Chapter 3, "Thermodynamic Properties of Fluids: Enthalpy and Entropy," focuses on methods for calculating fluid state properties based on the concepts of residual properties and partial molar properties. Chapter 4, "Energy Utilization Processes and Cycles," combines the laws of thermodynamics for flow systems to introduce thermodynamic processes such as fluid compression and expansion, as well as power cycles, refrigeration, heat pumps, and fluid liquefaction.
Chapter 5, "Process Thermodynamics Analysis," introduces the concept of functions from the second law of thermodynamics and discusses the analysis of processes and systems. Building on the thermodynamic models of fugacity and activity established in Chapter 6, "Thermodynamic Properties of Fluids: Fugacity and Activity," Chapter 7, "Fluid Phase Equilibrium," discusses methods for analyzing vapor-liquid phase equilibrium and data verification, while Chapter 8, "Chemical Equilibrium," covers the analysis of chemical equilibrium for homogeneous and heterogeneous fluids.
The book includes review questions and exercises for reference by instructors and students. Appendices provide commonly used thermodynamic property data and charts, and the accompanying CD-ROM includes the thermodynamic property calculation software Therm60. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses in process technology programs (e.g., chemical engineering, petroleum and natural gas, building materials, metallurgy, light industry, power, and food) at universities and colleges. It is also suitable as a reference or textbook for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as for researchers and technicians in related fields (e.g., thermal energy engineering, energy or environmental engineering).
