Introduction to Thermodynamics

Y V C RAO

New Age Publications (Academic)

This book would serve as a core textbook for the course on chemical engineering thermodynamics for undergraduate students of chemical engineering and chemical technology. Emphasis is on precise and logical presentation of basic principles. The book covers a number of concepts that are not found in most books the Jacobian method of deriving thermodynamic relations, use of the Bridgman table, stability and phase transition in thermodynamic systems, etc. Another salient feature of the book is the equation of state (EOS) approach which is gaining importance with the increasing use of computers. Contents: Preface / Nomenclature / Introduction / Basic Concept and Definitions / p-v-trelations of Fluids / First Law of Thermodynamics and its Applications / Second Law of Thermodynamics and its Applications / Thermodynamics Potentials / Thermodynamics Property Relations / Thermodynamic Properties of Real Gases / Multicomponent Mixture / Stability and Phase transition in Thermodynamic System / Properties of Solution / Vapor-liquid Equilibrium / Dilute Solution Laws / Chemical Reaction Equilibrium / Appendices / Answers to problems / References / Index

This book presents the basic concepts, principles and applications of the principles in analyzing real life problems in an interactive manner. The book covers the syllabus of all universities and engineering colleges and can be used as a primary text or a supplement to any text book on thermodynamics for undergraduate students of all branches of engineering. It can also be used as a reference book by graduate students and practicing engineers. Psychrometry and chemical thermodynamics, Jacobian method of deriving thermodynamic relations in addition to the conventional partial differentials method are presented and illustrated through several examples. Sufficient thermodynamic property data tables are appended.  Contents: Basic Concepts / Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics / Properties of Simple Compressible Fluids / First Law of Thermodynamics and its Application / Second Law of Thermodynamics / Thermodynamic Potentials and Availability / Thermodynamic Relations / Power and Refrigeration Cycles / Non-reacting Gas Mixtures and Psychrometry / Combustion and Chemical Thermodynamics / Appendices / Nomenclature / Index
