Concise Chemical Thermodynamics

By A.P.H. Peters

Book Overview

Following in the tradition of its predecessors, this third edition continues to offer a practical, example-based exploration of a critical topic, maintaining academic rigor but eschewing complicated calculations. It discusses the world's current energy consumption and the role of renewable energy in the future, examines exothermic reactions, uses Mathcad(R) to calculate a plot of Gibbs energy, explains the Lambda sensor, and employs FactSage software to calculate and describe the production of silicon in an arc (oven) furnace. This latest edition re-works problems that have proven to be the most difficult for students and adds several new ones to further amplify complex areas.
