Vera J.H., Wilczek-Vera G. Classical Thermodynamics of Fluid Systems: Principles and Applications

Taylor & Francis Group, LLC, 2017. — 442 p. — ISBN10: 1498767273Provides a concise structure of concepts, using simple nomenclature and algebra.
Clarifies problems usually overlooked by standard texts.
Uses examples to show the structure for solving practical problems.
Includes diverse topics of interest to researchers and advanced students, including elements of statistical thermodynamics, models of solutions and the activity of individual ions. These topics give a coherent view of the authors’ contribution to thermodynamics.
Four appendices give step by step procedures and parameters for direct use of the PRSV equation of state for fugacities and the ASOG-KT group method for activity coefficients.
This text explores the connections between different thermodynamic subjects related to fluid systems. Emphasis is placed on the clarification of concepts by returning to the conceptual foundation of thermodynamics and special effort is directed to the use of a simple nomenclature and algebra. The book presents the structural elements of classical thermodynamics of fluid systems, covers the treatment of mixtures, and shows via examples and references both the usefulness and the limitations of classical thermodynamics for the treatment of practical problems related to fluid systems. It also includes diverse selected topics of interest to researchers and advanced students and four practical appendices, including an introduction to material balances and step-by-step procedures for using the Virial EOS and the PRSV EOS for fugacities and the ASOG-KT group method for activity coefficients. The Olivera-Fuentes table of PRSV parameters for more than 800 chemical compounds and the Gmehling-Tochigi tables of ASOG interaction parameters for 43 groups are included.Fundamentals
