Watch Out

The Redlich-Kwong equation given specific for pressure given in this text is in error. It should be: P=(RT/(V-b))-(a/((Tr^.5)*V*(V+b))) The procedure given for calculating specific volume is accurate as far as I know and I've been told that it is. The original equation of state is not stated correctly though which would affect a simple calculation for pressure such as in a pressure vessel given temperature and density of enclosed gas.

Nice step-by-step examples for various calculations

As a chemical engineer, this book rates up there with Perry's on value of information. Chopey does a very nice job of including detailed step-by-step calculations for a multitude of subjects. The many examples are very relevant to the text and provide good insight to the calculation process. The book is very well organized and easy to use.
