Von der hinteren Coverseite

Thermodynamic Approaches in Engineering Systems responds to the need for a synthesizing volume that throws light upon extensive field of thermodynamics from the chemical engineering perspective and applies basic ideas and results of this field into chemical engineering problems. This book outlines and interprets the most valuable achievements in applied non-equilibrium thermodynamics obtained within the recent fifty years. It syntheses nontrivial achievements of thermodynamics in important branches of chemical and biochemical engineering.

Readers will gain the necessary information on what has been achieved to date, what new research problems could be stated or what kind of further studies should be developed within a specialized research.

• Very clearly structured chapters starting with an introduction, elaboration of the process, and results summarized in a conclusion
• Written by first-class expert in the field of advanced methods in thermodynamics
• Provides a synthesis of recent thermodynamic developments in practical systems
• Provides very elaborate literature discussions comprising the recent fifty years
