Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics by Pandey, Choudhary
Book Summary:
The Fundamentals of Thermodynamics are being taught to the students of physics and chemistry since long. In past thirty years not only teaching of thermodynamics has been extended to engineering disciplines, e.g., Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering etc., but efforts have also been made to prepare textbook materials on Thermodynamics specially tailored for individual discipline with obvious justification. Chemical Engineering is no exception and naturally efforts have been made to prepare materials on Thermodynamics specially for Chemical Engineering students. Such material is equally suitable for other programmes dealing with process industries e.g. Ceramic Engineering, Biochemical Engineering, Pharmaceutical Engineering, Petroleum Technology, Food Technology, High Polymer Technology, Oil Technology, etc. In such cases it becomes easier to include several examples from process industries to illustrate and explain the usefulness of thermodynamics.
