Description for Molecular Engineering Thermodynamics
Hardcover. A unique introduction to modern thermodynamics, integrating classical, statistical and molecular approaches, designed for students studying chemical and biochemical engineering. Series: Cambridge Series in Chemical Engineering. Num Pages: 501 pages, 132 b/w illus. 310 exercises. BIC Classification: PHH; TDCB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 255 x 197 x 27. Weight in Grams: 1216.
Building up gradually from first principles, this unique introduction to modern thermodynamics integrates classical, statistical and molecular approaches and is especially designed to support students studying chemical and biochemical engineering. In addition to covering traditional problems in engineering thermodynamics in the context of biology and materials chemistry, students are also introduced to the thermodynamics of DNA, proteins, polymers and surfaces. It includes over 80 detailed worked examples, covering a broad range of scenarios such as fuel cell efficiency, DNA/protein binding, semiconductor manufacturing and polymer foaming, emphasizing the practical real-world applications of thermodynamic principles; more than 300 carefully tailored homework problems, ...

Reviews for Molecular Engineering Thermodynamics
'This is a book to use many times. First as a textbook that explains the principles of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics with rigour and clarity. The importance and the contemporary relevance of the subject matter is illustrated in many examples from physics, chemical engineering and biology - and it is to these examples that future readers are likely to return ...
