Thermochemistry and chemical thermodynamics Books
World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Molecular Thermodynamics Of Electrolyte Solutions
Book SynopsisElectrolytes and salt solutions are ubiquitous in chemical industry, biology and nature. This unique compendium introduces the elements of the solution properties of ionic mixtures. In addition, it also serves as a bridge to the modern researches into the molecular aspects of uniform and non-uniform charged systems. Notable subjects include the Debye-Hückel limit, Pitzer's formulation, Setchenov salting-out, and McMillan-Mayer scale. Two new chapters on industrial applications — natural gas treating, and absorption refrigeration, are added to make the book current and relevant.This textbook is eminently suitable for undergraduate and graduate students. For practicing engineers without a background in salt solutions, this introductory volume can also be used as a self-study.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Modern Thermodynamics
Book SynopsisThis textbook introduces thermodynamics with a modern approach, starting from four fundamental physical facts (the atomic nature of matter, the indistinguishability of atoms and molecules of the same species, the uncertainty principle, and the existence of equilibrium states) and analyzing the behavior of complex systems with the tools of information theory, in particular with Shannon's measure of information (or SMI), which can be defined on any probability distribution. SMI is defined and its properties and time evolution are illustrated, and it is shown that the entropy is a particular type of SMI, i.e. the SMI related to the phase-space distribution for a macroscopic system at equilibrium. The connection to SMI allows the reader to understand what entropy is and why isolated systems follow the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The Second Llaw is also formulated for other systems, not thermally isolated and even open with respect to the transfer of particles. All the fundamental aspects of thermodynamics are derived and illustrated with several examples in the first part of the book. The second part addresses important applications of thermodynamics, covering phase transitions, mixtures and solutions (including the Kirkwood-Buff approach and solvation thermodynamics), chemical equilibrium, and the outstanding properties of water.This textbook is unique in two aspects. First, thermodynamics is introduced with a novel approach, based on information theory applied to macroscopic systems at equilibrium. It is shown that entropy is a particular case of Shannon's measure of information (SMI), and the properties and time evolution of the SMI are used to explain the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This represents a real breakthrough, as classical thermodynamics cannot explain entropy, nor clarify why systems should obey the Second Law. Second, this textbook offers the reader the possibility to get in touch with important and advanced applications of thermodynamics, to address the topics discussed in the second part of the book. Although they may go beyond the content of a typical introductory course on thermodynamics, some of them can be important in the curriculum chosen by the student. At the same time, they are of appealing interest to more advanced scholars.Table of ContentsFundamentals: Introduction and Overview; The Historical Development of Thermodynamics; Elements of Probability Theory; Shannon's Measure of Information; Three Theorems on Shannon's Measure of Information; The Entropy Function of a Classical Ideal Gas; Thermodynamics of Ideal Gas; The Fundamental Principles of Thermodynamics; Applications: The Phase Rule and Phase Diagrams; Mixtures and Solutions; Chemical Equilibrium; Water and Aqueous Solutions; Appendices: Solutions to Exercises; Mathematics;

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Chemical Thermodynamics: With Examples For
Book SynopsisThermodynamics is an ever evolving subject. This book aims to introduce to advanced undergraduate students and graduate students the fundamental ideas and notions of the first and second laws of thermodynamics in a manner unavailable in the usual textbooks on the subject of thermodynamics. For example, it treats the notions of unavailable work, compensated and uncompensated heats, and dissipation, which make it possible to formulate the thermodynamic laws in more broadened forms than those in the conventional treatment of equilibrium thermodynamics. It thus strives to prepare students for more advanced subjects of irreversible processes, which are encountered in our everyday scientific activities. In addition, it also aims to provide them with functional and practical knowledge of equilibrium chemical thermodynamics of reversible processes in real fluids. It discusses temperature, work and heat, thermodynamic laws, equilibrium conditions and thermodynamic stability, thermodynamics of reversible processes in gases and liquids, in surfaces, chemical equilibria, reversible processes in electrolyte solutions and dielectrics in static electric and magnetic fields. A couple of examples for irreversible processes associated with fluid flows and chemical pattern formation and wave propagations are discussed as examples for applications of broader treatments of the thermodynamic laws in the realm of irreversible phenomena.Table of ContentsIntroduction; Temperature, Work, and Heat; The First Law of Thermodynamics; The Second Law of Thermodynamics; Equilibrium Conditions and Thermodynamic Stability; Thermodynamics of Mixtures and Open Systems; Heterogeneous Equilibria; Thermodynamics of Real Fluids; Canonical Equation of State; Thermodynamics of Real Gas Mixtures; Chemical Equilibria; Thermodynamics of Solutions; Thermodynamics of Surfaces; Electrolyte Solutions; Debye-Huckel Theory of Strong Electrolyte Solutions; Galvanic Cells and Electromotive Forces; Thermodynamics of Electric and Magnetic Fields; Thermodynamics of Nonequilibrium Processes; Local Form of Energy Conservation Law; Various Coefficients;
