Product Description
97774-4 The classic guide to mixtures, completely updated with new models, theories, examples, and data. Efficient separation operations and many other chemical processes depend upon a thorough understanding of the properties of gaseous and liquid mixtures. Molecular Thermodynamics of Fluid-Phase Equilibria, Third Edition is a systematic, practical guide to interpreting, correlating, and predicting thermodynamic properties used in mixture-related phase-equilibrium calculations. Completely updated, this edition reflects the growing maturity of techniques grounded in applied statistical thermodynamics and molecular simulation, while relying on classical thermodynamics, molecular physics, and physical chemistry wherever these fields offer superior solutions. Detailed new coverage includes: * Techniques for improving separation processes and making them more environmentally friendly. * Theoretical concepts enabling the description and interpretation of solution properties. * New models, notably the lattice-fluid and statistical associated-fluid theories. * Polymer solutions, including gas-polymer equilibria, polymer blends, membranes, and gels. * Electrolyte solutions, including semi-empirical models for solutions containing salts or volatile electrolytes. Coverage also includes: fundamentals of classical thermodynamics of phase equilibria; thermodynamic properties from volumetric data; intermolecular forces; fugacities in gas and liquid mixtures; solubilities of gases and solids in liquids; high-pressure phase equilibria; virial coefficients for quantum gases; and much more. Throughout, Molecular Thermodynamics of Fluid-Phase Equilibria strikes a perfect balance between empirical techniques and theory, and is replete with useful examples and experimental data. More than ever, it is the essential resource for engineers, chemists, and other professionals working with mixtures and related processes.

 Clearly written , Very good book July 21, 2001

The book explains clearly the subjects making easy to understand the topics. I would suggest chem. eng to use it as a tool for understanding any specific subject in phase equilibria. It points out clearly the principles. Any book written by Dr. Prausnitz has high quality.
Simple and interesting... April 13, 2000

I found this book easy to read about some topics that others books make to difficult to understand. I widely recommend this book...
This was the greatest thermodynamics book I have ever read January 8, 1999

Being an "Advanced hydrodynamic equipment specialist" I know that understanding the physics of the equipment is what makes me not like anyone else, so I loved this book and so did the other people I shared it with.

En la Ec. 6-122 pg. 264 el subindice del tercer termino de la derecha de la ecuacion: phi* dice 2 debe decir 1.Por favor si tienen un Fe de Erratas comunicarlo a todos los usuarios. El libro es excelente. gracias
Very well written book, but also a very academic text May 22, 1999

The book covers alle the theoretic aspect of phase equilibria in a competent way. But the book is of little use for practical applications.
