Modelling Phase Equilibria: Thermodynamic Background and Practical Tools

Presents a rigorous development of thermodynamic laws of phase equilibria beginning with fundamental principles, accompanied by a short description of the mathematics vital to a clear understanding of basic concepts as well as the practical methods used to calculate phase equilibria. Offers excellent explanations of well–established thermodynamic tools and novel, state–of–the–art techniques representing real fluid behavior. Models covered are relevant to the modeling of nonelectrolyte mixtures over wide ranges of pressure, temperature, composition and molecular diversity.
