Introductory Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics, 2nd edition

• ScreenCast supplements available from author website at: http://chethermo.net/screencasts
• Clear, colloquial, easy to use - and the only book in its market that focuses on the molecular perspective working engineers need
• Contains new MATLAB examples and tools, extensive new coverage of biochemical engineering and biomass conversions, and many other improvements
• Teaches molecular modeling and product design techniques that are rapidly being adopted in the marketplace
• Hierarchical instruction with increasing levels of detail: Content requiring deeper levels of theory is clearly delineated in separate sections and chapters
• Early introduction to the overall perspective of composite systems like distillation columns, reactive processes, and biological systems
• Learning objectives, problem-solving strategies for energy balances and phase equilibria, chapter summaries, and “important equations” for every chapter
• Extensive practical examples, especially coverage of non-ideal mixtures, which include water contamination via hydrocarbons, polymer blending/recycling, oxygenated fuels, hydrogen bonding, osmotic pressure, electrolyte solutions, zwitterions and biological molecules, and other contemporary issues
• Supporting software in formats for both MATLAB® and spreadsheets
• Online supplemental sections and resources including instructor slides, ConcepTests, coursecast videos, and other useful resources

• Please note - the solutions manual for this book is available in print only; it is not available on the IRC. The ISBN for the print solutions manual is 0132788527.

Content changes include:

• Extensive new coverage of today's fast-growing biochemical engineering applications, notably biomass conversion to fuels and chemicals. The text also presents many new MATLAB examples and tools to complement its previous usage of Excel^® and other software. New and updated material includes:
  • Integrated discussions of biological thermodynamics throughout
  • Clear learning objectives and outcomes for each chapter, provided as a web supplement
  • More examples focusing on the First and Second Laws of thermodynamics and fluid phase equilibria in mixtures
  • A new overview of mixture modeling concepts
  • Reorganized, enhanced coverage of van der Waals and local composition models
  • A brand-new chapter on molecular simulations
  • Expanded coverage of stability theory
  • Updated online supplements and new online teaching tools, including ConceptTesting
