About the book

Intended for college students specializing in chemical technology, this book will also be an excellent aid for students of chemical faculties of universities and for chemical engineers working at various enterprises or at designing and research institutions.

The authors give problems that do not repeat the trivial procedures of similar books and are usually not encountered in them. The examples are valuable in being as close as possible to practical engineers’ thermodynamic calculations of chemical processes. The appendices contain numerous reference tables. In addition to the merits mentioned above, this will help instructors to compile new problems in the course on the basis of the methods described in the book.
