DESCRIPTION:
This book is concerned with the prediction of thermodynamic and transport properties of gases and liquids. The book aims to present the best of those modern methods which are capable of practical application. It begins with basic scientific principles and formal results which are subsequently developed into practical methods of prediction. Numerous examples, supported by a suite of computer programmes, illustrate applications of the methods. The book is aimed primarily at the student market (for both undergraduate and taught postgraduate courses) but it will also be useful for those engaged in research and for chemical and process engineering professionals.. The prediction of such properties is essential for the solution of many problems encountered in chemical and process engineering as well as in other areas of science and technology
"I recommend this book to chemistry and geochemistry students, and scientists in general, because it is one of the few textbooks available on the subject. The style is clear and concise and the text is well organised, with main references given at the end of each chapter." Chemistry in Britain
