Thermodynamics and Its Applications provides a comprehensive, rigorous treatment of chemical thermodynamics at an advanced level.

Based on extensive classroom testing, this graduate-level text links the fundamental concepts of thermodynamics to their applications in engneering practice. It connects theory with applications at erery opportunity, using extensive examples and illustrations, sample problems, and homework exercises.

This new edition responds to the growing need for practicing chemical engneers to understand how traditional empirically-based constitutive propety models are connected to their roots at the molecular level. Using the formalism of statistical mechanics, students can appreciate how intermolecular interactions cause deviations from ideal behavior.
