Classical and Molecular Thermodynamics of Fluid Systems: Principles and Applications

This text explores the connections between different thermodynamic subjects related to fluid systems.In an innovative way, it covers the subject from first principles to the state of the art in fundamental and applied topics.Using simple nomenclature and algebra, it clarifies concepts by returning to the conceptual foundation of thermodynamics.The structural elements of classical and molecular thermodynamics of fluid systems presented cover, via examples and references, both the usefulness and the limitations of thermodynamics for the treatment of practical problems.This new edition explores recent advances in statistical associated fluid theories and contains creative end-of-chapter problems connecting the theory with real-life situations.It includes new chapters on thermodynamics of polymer solutions and molecular thermodynamics and also presents advances in the study of the activity of individual ions. Provides a concise structure of concepts, using simple nomenclature and algebraCl
