Overview

This text explores the theory, concepts and applications of classical thermodynamics and introduces a molecular-level perspective of constitutive property models for both electrolyte and non-electrolyte mixtures. Extensive examples and problems provide opportunities for connecting theory with applications. Material is divided into three major sections: fundamental principles - the theoretical basis of classical thermodynamics; thermodynamic properties - an extensive description of how thermodynamic properties are correlated, modelled, manipulated, and estimated; and applications - the applications of classical thermodynamics in detail. The text links molecular effects to constitutive property models using the principles of statistical mechanics and provides in-depth coverage of: constitutive property models for non-ideal fluids - including a statistical mechanics basis; van der Waals and McMillan-Mayer theories; local composition concepts and electrolyte solutions; and volumetric equations of state and activity coefficient models for non-electrolyte mixtures.
