The Thermodynamics of Phase and Reaction Equilibria

Arabic Edition
Coming Soon!

First Edition
This book not only provides a sound foundation for understanding abstract concepts of phase and reaction equilibria, but also shows how to apply these concepts to solve practical problems using numerous clear examples. It also presents numerical methods necessary for solving real-world problems as well as the basic mathematics needed, facilitating its use as a self-study reference work. In the example problems requiring MATHCAD® for the solution, the results of the intermediate steps are given, enabling the reader to easily track mistakes and understand the order of magnitude of the various quantities involved.

Thermodynamics: Principles and Applications


First Edition
This eminently readable introductory text provides a sound foundation to understand the abstract concepts used to express the laws of thermodynamics. The emphasis is on the fundamentals rather that spoon-feeding the subject matter. The concepts are explained with utmost clarity in simple and elegant language. It provides the background material needed for students to solve practical problems related to thermodynamics. Anserws to all problems are provided.

Research Philosophy

Currently, the analysis of multiphase systems is done either by simply extending the single-phase equations to multiphase systems or by using only experiments at the macroscopic level to develop process correlations. The resulting equations, however, have very specific, narrow ranges of utility and each new application requires a complete repetition of experimentation. Over the last three decades, considerable progress has been obtained in the development of multiphase equations that take into account the interactions between the phases, link the continuum equations with the scale of experimental measurements, and identify property parameters along with their functional dependence. Research efforts have been directed to unify solid-liquid separation processes by the systematic treatment of multiphase equations of change to specific problems, such as cake filtration, electrofiltration, cake washing, and sedimentation.
