Introduction to chemical engineering thermodynamics

Thermodynamics, a key component of many fields of science and engineering, is based
on laws of universal applicability. However, the most important applications of those laws,
and the materials and processes of greatest concern, differ from one branch of science or engineering to another. Thus, we believe there is value in presenting this material from a chemicalengineering perspective, focusing on the application of thermodynamic principles to materials
and processes most likely to be encountered by chemical engineers
