Chemical and Process Thermodynamics, 3/e
Benjamin G. Kyle, Kansas State University



Summary

Designed for undergraduate and graduate chemical engineering students, this book/disk package explains the rationale of thermodynamics from an experimental perspective. The Third Edition offers a thorough update and is unique in its recognition of the ever-expanding role of the personal computer in engineering practice.

Features

Focuses on learning the why as well as the how of thermodynamics with many worked examples and over 500 problems to illustrate the material.

Offers an ample supply of end-of-chapter problems to test student comprehension.

Features

NEW-- Includes a new chapter that presents the philosophy and practice of modeling thermodynamic systems.

NEW-- Features coverage of the thermodynamic analysis of chemical processes, the only text on the market to do so.

NEW-- Offers a companion CD-ROM that contains:

  • Nine executable programs and three spreadsheets for carrying out professional-level calculations.

  • POLYMATH, a general purpose numerical analysis software package.

  • WASP, a computerized steam table.

  • EQUATIONS OF STATE, a graphics program for visualizing thermodynamic processes in terms of three-dimensional PVT diagrams.

  • Spreadsheets that provide details for the numerous text examples involving intensified computing.

NEW-- Offers a thorough treatment of complex chemical equilibrium using the POLYMATH mathematics software.
