This book is a beginners introduction to chemical thermodynamics for engineers. In the textbook
efforts have been made to visualize as clearly as possible the main
concepts of thermodynamic quantities such as enthalpy and entropy, thus
making them more perceivable. Furthermore, intricate formulae in
thermodynamics have been discussed as functionally unified sets of
formulae to understand their meaning rather than to mathematically
derive them in detail. In this textbook, the affinity of irreversible processes, defined by the second
law of thermodynamics, has been treated as the main subject, rather
than the equilibrium of chemical reactions. The concept of affinity is
applicable in general not only to the processes of chemical reactions but also to all kinds of irreversible processes. chemical energy exergy introduction thermodynamics engineers,
