Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics

by J.M. Smith, H C Van Ness (Contributor), Michael M Abbott (Contributor)

Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics presents comprehensive coverage of thermodynamics from a chemical engineering viewpoint. The text provides a thorough exposition of the principles of thermodynamics and details their application to chemical processes. The chapters are written in a clear, logically organized manner, and contain an abundance of realistic problems, examples, and illustrations to help students understand complex concepts. This text is structured to alternate between the development of thermodynamic principles and the correlation and use of thermodynamic properties as well as between theory and applications.

To enhance student reading, the ninth edition now includes SmartBook® 2.0. SmartBook 2.0―Our adaptive reading experience has been made more personal, accessible, productive, and mobile.

Dificil la trama, aprobé la materia pero aun no se si la entropia es un personaje bueno o malo.

I think the text was a little too difficult for beginners and the author goes a little too in depth without making the basic concepts as clear as they could have been made. However, the examples and questions are exemplary.

[Eskew]

that is best

[gruthar !]

Dense but approachable if given enough time to develop an intuitive understanding of the concepts. A bit heavier on the derivations than I usually appreciate but in this case, I think the mathematical approach really helped certain topics (like chemical potential and fugacity) click.

You’ll find it stacked next to Perry’s on many workplace bookshelves for a reason!

what really is fugacity

[Aysun]

2.5/3
It was such a pain in the ass to use this textbook during exams. Why, I mean whyyyy would you refer to graphs from like Chapter 3 and equations from Chapter 5 when you're in fact all the way into chapter 13?

Nothing compares... nothing compares to you Atkins :(

This book is comprehensive but may be difficult to understand as a beginner, especially for more abstract concepts like fugacity. For students' exam preparation, would recommend reading this together with a supplementary book, preferably one that demonstrates how the thermodynamics concepts are applied to solving numerical problems in exams. Can check out "Engineering Problems for Undergraduate Students - Over 250 worked examples with step-by-step guidance" by Springer, there are some pretty good example problems with worked out solutions in there, they helped me so just to share.

extremely hard to understand but i love to use this books cps and other things so 2 stars.

[界瑀 陳]

I am a undergraduate, want to learn more about thermodynamics

[pat]

student days are officially over!! (definitely not logging this to help my reading goal)

[Rebecca R]

Made me cry...a lot

[Maureen]

easier to understand than Sandler, better paper quality too

[Dallisonam]

This is the worst book ever.

[Pragnesh]

good

[Rio Johan]

... especially the appendixes! The only bad thing about its appendixes are that the lists are all too limited!

[Gusper]

it's good

[Vuyi]

it was good

[Nina]

finally succeeded!...

[Yousaf]

good book

[Gunson]

important
