Features: This book has been rewritten and organized based on extensive feedback from sister institutions. To meet the needs of teaching plans for related majors such as Chemical Engineering and Technology, Pharmaceutical Engineering, and Environmental Engineering, compared to the previous edition, this book has added content on modern thermodynamics. Other chapters have also been significantly revised, modified, and supplemented. While striving for comprehensive and concise content, the book emphasizes linking theory with practice. The content of this edition includes: Introduction, P-V-T Relations of Fluids, Thermodynamic Properties of Pure Fluids, Thermodynamic Properties of Fluid Mixtures, Energy Analysis of Chemical Processes, Steam Power Cycles and Refrigeration Cycles, Phase Equilibrium, Thermodynamic Properties of Polymer Systems, Interfacial Adsorption, Chemical Reaction Equilibrium, and Property Data Estimation, totaling eleven chapters. The book includes numerous examples, and the appendix lists property data and charts for commonly used substances. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate chemical engineering majors and also as a reference for chemical, material, and light industry engineering technicians. This book is accompanied by a set of examples and problems in chemical thermodynamics.
