Molecular Thermodynamics of Fluid-Phase Equilibria 3rd Edition


Molecular Thermodynamics of Fluid-Phase Equilibria 3rd Edition by John M. Prausnitz, Rudiger N. Lichtenthaler and Edmundo Gomes de Azevedo reflects the growing maturity of techniques grounded in utilized statistical thermodynamics and molecular simulation, whereas counting on classical thermodynamics, molecular physics, and physical chemistry wherever these fields offer superior solutions.

Detailed new coverage contains strategies for enhancing separation processes and making them more environmentally pleasant, theoretical ideas enabling the description and interpretation of answer properties, new models, notably the lattice-fluid and statistical related-fluid theories, polymer solutions, together with gas-polymer equilibria, polymer blends, membranes, and gels, electrolyte solutions, including semi-empirical models for options containing salts or volatile electrolytes.

Coverage additionally consists of: fundamentals of classical thermodynamics of part equilibria; thermodynamic properties from volumetric knowledge; intermolecular forces; fugacities in gas and liquid mixtures; solubilities of gases and solids in liquids; excessive-stress section equilibria; virial coefficients for quantum gases; and much more. A synthesis of thermodynamics and utilized physical chemistry, this quantity stresses the importance and comfort of using generalized methods to solve chemical engineering problems.

Throughout, this book strikes a perfect steadiness between empirical methods and principle, and is replete with useful examples and experimental data. Greater than ever, it is the important resource for engineers, chemists, and different professionals working with mixtures and associated processes. It is classic guide to mixtures, completely up to date with new models, theories, examples, and data.

Efficient separation operations and many other chemical processes depend upon a radical understanding of the properties of gaseous and liquid mixtures. It is a systematic, practical guide to interpreting, correlating, and predicting thermodynamic properties utilized in mixture-related phase-equilibrium calculations.

This book presents an expanded discussion of theoretical ideas to describe and interpret answer properties, with emphasis on these concepts that bear promise for practical applications. Consideration is given to a wide range of models together with the lattice-fluid theory and the statistical related-fluid principle (SAFT). A brand new chapter is dedicated to polymer solutions together with gas-polymer equilibria at unusual and high pressures, polymer blends, polymeric membranes and gels. Different novel sections of the third edition embody discussions of osmotic stress and Donnan equilibria.

A critical omission in earlier editions has now been corrected: the third edition comprises an entirely new chapter on electrolyte solutions. This new chapter first offers the thermodynamic foundation for describing activities of elements in electrolyte solutions after which presents some semi-empirical models for options containing salts or unstable electrolytes.

Additionally discussed are some purposes of those models to part-equilibrium calculations related to chemical, environmental and biochemical engineering. All chapters have been up to date primarily through presentation of some recent examples and a few new homework problems.
