This book concentrates on the topic of physical and chemicalequilibrium. Using the simplest mathematics along with numerousnumerical examples it accurately and rigorously covers physical andchemical equilibrium in depth and detail. It continues tocover the topics found in the first edition however numerousupdates have been made including: Changes in naming and notation(the first edition used the traditional names for the Gibbs FreeEnergy and for Partial Molal Properties, this edition uses the morepopular Gibbs Energy and Partial Molar Properties,) changes insymbols (the first edition used the Lewis-Randal fugacity rule andthe popular symbol for the same quantity, this edition only usesthe popular notation,) and new problems have been added to thetext. Finally the second edition includes an appendix about theBridgman table and its use.

Über Autor(innen)

NOEL de NEVERS, PhD, followed five years of working for Chevron with thirty-seven years as a Professor in the Chemical Engineering Department of the University of Utah. His textbooks (and research papers) are in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and air pollution control engineering. He regularly consults as an expert on explosions, fires, and toxic exposures.
In addition to technical work, he has three "de Nevers's Laws" in a Murphy's Laws compilation and won the title "Poet Laureate of Jell-O Salad" in a Salt Lake City competition, with three limericks and a quatrain. He has climbed the Grand Teton, Mt. Rainier, Mt. Whitney, Kala Pattar, and Mt. Kilimanjaro, and is the official discoverer of Private Arch in Arches National Park.
