Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics

by J.M. Smith, Michael M. Abbott, Hendrick C. Van Ness

Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics, 6/e, presents comprehensive coverage of the subject of thermodynamics from a chemical engineering viewpoint. The text provides a thorough exposition of the principles of thermodynamics and details their application to chemical processes. The chapters are written in a clear, logically organized manner, and contain an abundance of realistic problems, examples, and illustrations to help students understand complex concepts. New ideas, terms, and symbols constantly challenge the readers to think and encourage them to apply this fundamental body of knowledge to the solution of practical problems. The comprehensive nature of this book makes it a useful reference both in graduate courses and for professional practice. The sixth edition continues to be an excellent tool for teaching the subject of chemical engineering thermodynamics to undergraduate students.

I think the text was a little too difficult for beginners and the author goes a little too in depth without making the basic concepts as clear as they could have been made. However, the examples and questions are exemplary.

Dificil la trama, aprobé la materia pero aun no se si la entropia es un personaje bueno o malo.

2.5/3
It was such a pain in the ass to use this textbook during exams. Why, I mean whyyyy would you refer to graphs from like Chapter 3 and equations from Chapter 5 when you're in fact all the way into chapter 13?

Nothing compares... nothing compares to you Atkins :(

This book is comprehensive but may be difficult to understand as a beginner, especially for more abstract concepts like fugacity. For students' exam preparation, would recommend reading this together with a supplementary book, preferably one that demonstrates how the thermodynamics concepts are applied to solving numerical problems in exams. Can check out "Engineering Problems for Undergraduate Students - Over 250 worked examples with step-by-step guidance" by Springer, there are some pretty good example problems with worked out solutions in there, they helped me so just to share.

... especially the appendixes! The only bad thing about its appendixes are that the lists are all too limited!
