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.
This textbook also includes electrochemical thermodynamics in
which, instead of the classical phenomenological approach,
molecular science provides an advanced understanding of the
reactions of charged particles such as ions and electrons at the
electrodes.
Recently, engineering thermodynamics has introduced a new
thermodynamic potential called exergy, which essentially is related
to the concept of the affinity of irreversible processes. This
textbook discusses the relation between exergy and affinity and
explains the exergy balance diagram and exergy vector diagram
applicable to exergy analyses in chemical manufacturing processes.
This textbook is written in the hope that the readers understand in
a broad way the fundamental concepts of energy and exergy from
chemical thermodynamics in practical applications. Finishing this
book, the readers may easily step forward further into an advanced
text of their specified line.
- Visualizes the main concepts of thermodynamics to show the
meaning of the quantities and formulae.
- Focuses mainly on the affinity of irreversible processes and the
related concept of exergy.
- Provides an advanced understanding of electrochemical
thermodynamics.
