Chemical Thermodynamics

for Process Simulation

Beschreibung

Thermodynamik aus ingenieurwissenschaftlicher Sicht: Hier kommt eines der seltenen Werke, das thermodynamische Grundkonzepte konsequent auf prozesstechnische Probleme aus der Praxis überträgt. Beim Umsetzen des Stoffs helfen Ihnen zahlreiche Beispiele (mit Lösungswegen) und Algorithmen zur Ermittlung von thermophysikalischen Eigenschaften und Kenndaten von Phasengleichgewichten. Ausführlich diskutiert wird auch die Thermodynamik von Stofftrennverfahren.
[Interessenten: Ingenieurstudenten; Unternehmen aus den Bereichen Chemie, Pharmazie, Erdöl- und Erdgasverarbeitung, Petrochemie, Raffinerie, Nahrungsmittelproduktion, Umweltschutz]

Autor

Prof. Dr. Jürgen Gmehling, born 1946, is Professor of Technical Chemistry at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg in Germany. His research interests focus on the computerized design and optimization of chemical processes, investigating separation processes and thermophysical properties. The various predictive thermodynamic models such as the group contribution methods UNIFAC, modified UNIFAC and LIFAC or the group contribution equation of state PSRK and VTPR developed in his research group with the help of the Dortmund Data Bank are used worldwide by a large number of chemical engineers during their daily work with process simulators. He is author of some 50 books, including text books on thermal process engineering, thermodynamics, and unit operations, as well as more than 300 papers in scientific journals. He received the Arnold-Eucken award of the GVC. Apart from his professorship, he is CEO of the company DDBST GmbH founded in 1989, responsible for the continuous update of the Dortmund Data Bank and its integrated software package, as well as director of the Laboratory for Thermophysical Properties (LTP) GmbH, which was founded in 1999. He currently also serves as an elected member in three scientific boards of GVC and DECHEMA, and in the Editorial Advisory Board of four international scientific journals.

Rezensionen

"The authors of this excellent book on chemical thermodynamics have achieved something rare taking one of the dreariest theoretical sciences and making
it accessible.
This book is a treasure trove of fundamental thermodynamic knowledge with the guidance necessary to apply the theory to practical applications.
The first eight chapters deal primarily with thermodynamic concepts, such as pure component behaviour (Chapter 1). properties of mixtures (Chapter 2), phase equilibria and solid state equilibria (Chapters 4 and 8). In each of these chapters the authors manage to breakdown thermodynamics into its essential building blocks and guide the reader through the increasing complexity. This is a good refresher for those who

studied thermodynamics as a student or a good introduction to those being exposed to thermodynamics for the first time.
However, be warned. This is not the basics of thermodynamics: the reader quickly gets amongst the mathematics - but it is present in a direct and concise manner that anyone familiar with undergraduate mathematics will be able to comprehend.
Though the title has 'for process simulations, most of the thermodynamic discussion is on the fundamental Level, with only the later parts of each chapter progressing into simulation models. Examples are equations of state for fluid system phase equilibria (Chapter-1) and the NRTL model in electrolyte solutions (Chapter 7). This distinction makes Chemical thermodynamics for process simulations a great general reference
source.
The worked examples hit the Goldilocks zone for problems - not too easy, not too hard - and this reviewer found them to successfully illustrate the various topics.
The second half of the book focuses more on the applied side » applying thermodynamic theory to membrane processes (Chapter 9) and polymers (Chapter 10), as well as to reactions and equilibriums (Chapter 12). Here, the reader can become confused if not well versed in the topics of interest, since some prior knowledge is assumed.
The final chapter is not really a chapter, but rather an invitation for readers to download thermodynamic and process examples from the internet to be applied in software programs such as Mathcad. This is a great example of broadening the education value through technology, and should be copied bymore authors.
If you are interested in detailed and accessible thermodynamics, start and finish with this book."
