Phase Equilibrium Engineering: Volume 13

Bys: Brignole, Esteban Alberto and Pereda, Selva

Phase Equilibrium Engineering, Second Edition, Volume Thirteen offers a comprehensive study on the application of phase equilibrium tools for chemical process development. This updated edition shifts the focus from computing phase equilibria using thermodynamic relationships to designing and controlling phase conditions essential for various processes. The book emphasizes thermodynamic modeling of mixtures crucial for process synthesis, simulation, design, and optimization, providing updated chapters, new sections, case studies, and additional chapters based on the latest experimental work. The book delves into the relationship between mixture molecular properties, the selection of thermodynamic models, and applicable process technologies.

It includes a classification of mixtures, separation processes, thermodynamic models, and technologies to guide engineers. The phase conditions required for reacting systems at subcritical and supercritical conditions are studied. The four cardinal points of phase equilibrium engineering--chemical plant/process, laboratory, phase equilibria modeling, and simulation--are harmonized to improve the design and operation of chemical processes.
