This book develops the theory of chemical thermodynamics from first
principles, demonstrates its relevance across scientific and
engineering disciplines, and shows how thermodynamics can be used
as a practical tool for understanding natural phenomena and
developing and improving technologies and products. Concepts such
as internal energy, enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs energy are
explained using ideas and experiences familiar to students, and
realistic examples are given so the usefulness and pervasiveness of
thermodynamics becomes apparent. The worked examples illustrate key
ideas and demonstrate important types of calculations, and the
problems at the end of chapters are designed to reinforce important
concepts and show the broad range of applications. Most can be
solved using digitized data from open access databases and a
spreadsheet. Answers are provided for the numerical problems. A
particular theme of the book is the calculation of the equilibrium
composition of systems, both reactive and non-reactive, and this
includes the principles of Gibbs energy minimization. The overall
approach leads to the intelligent use of thermodynamic software
packages but, while these are discussed and their use demonstrated,
they are not the focus of the book, the aim being to provide the
necessary foundations. Another unique aspect is the inclusion of
three applications chapters: heat and energy aspects of processing;
the thermodynamics of metal production and recycling; and
applications of electrochemistry. This book is aimed primarily at
students of chemistry, chemical engineering, applied science,
materials science, and metallurgy, though it will be also useful
for students undertaking courses in geology and environmental
science. A solutions manual is available for instructors.
