Engineering and Chemical Thermodynamics Handbook: Principles, Equations of State, Phase Equilibria, and Applications for Process and Power

By Ivan Y. Clay

Master the Physics That Powers Every Engine, Refinery, and Power Plant on Earth

Every turbine that spins, every refrigerant that cools, every reaction that drives a chemical plant obeys the same unforgiving laws - and most engineers only ever learn half of them. This handbook closes that gap.

Engineering and Chemical Thermodynamics Handbook unifies classical engineering thermodynamics with chemical engineering phase and reaction equilibria in a single, rigorously worked text - the combination most programs teach in two disconnected courses and most textbooks never bring together at all.

Across 16 chapters, you'll move from first principles straight through to the calculations real engineers run every day: power and refrigeration cycles, real-gas behavior and equations of state, vapor-liquid equilibrium, mixtures, combustion, chemical reaction equilibrium, and full multi-unit process and power-plant analysis - every equation numbered, every worked example independently verified, every practice problem answered.

Inside you'll find:

Complete equation-of-state and phase-equilibrium coverage, from ideal gases to Peng-RobinsonPower, refrigeration, and combined-cycle analysis engineers actually use in the fieldChemical reaction equilibrium and combustion thermodynamics explained without hand-wavingHundreds of worked examples and practice problems with full solutionsA complete glossary, key-equation appendix, and index for fast reference long after you've finished reading

Whether you're finishing your degree or solving problems on the job, this is the one book that treats thermodynamics as one subject, not two.
