Phase Equilibrium Engineering

Klappentext Traditionally the teaching of phase equilibria emphasizes the relationships between the thermodynamic variables of each phase in equilibrium rather than its engineering applications. This book changes the focus from the use of thermodynamics relationships to compute phase equilibria to the design and control of the phase conditions that a process needs. Phase Equilibrium Engineering presents a systematic study and application of phase equilibrium tools to the development of chemical processes. The thermodynamic modeling of mixtures for process development! synthesis! simulation! design and optimization is analyzed. The relation between the mixture molecular properties! the selection of the thermodynamic model and the process technology that could be applied are discussed. A classification of mixtures! separation process! thermodynamic models and technologies is presented to guide the engineer in the world of separation processes. The phase condition required for a given reacting system is studied at subcritical and supercritical conditions. The four cardinal points of phase equilibrium engineering are: the chemical plant or process! the laboratory! the modeling of phase equilibria and the simulator. The harmonization of all these components to obtain a better design or operation is the ultimate goal of phase equilibrium engineering. Zusammenfassung Emphasizes relationships between thermodynamic variables of each phase in equilibrium rather than its engineering applications. This book presents systematic study and application of phase equilibrium tools to the development of chemical processes. It includes phase equilibrium diagrams that are used as a drawing board for process implementation.
