Chemical Energy and Exergy: An Introduction to Chemical Thermodynamics for Engineers by Norio Sato


Elsevier Science; 1 edition (April 14, 2004) | 044451645X | Pages: 160 | PDF | 5.66 MB


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,
