商品簡介
Vidal (Institute Francais du Petrole, France) has written a textbook on the use of thermodynamics in the petroleum industry that will be a resource for engineers as well as in the graduate level engineering classroom. The principles of thermodynamic functions are described and applied to the notion of ideal gas in the initial chapter. Subsequent topics include predicting thermodynamic properties in pure substance, equations of state, characterization of mixtures, liquid-vapor equilibria, and deviations from the ideal in the liquid phase. Several advanced chapters concern the application of equations of state to various types of mixtures. Several appendices include a database, the Lee and Kesler method, properties of ethane propane system, and analysis of a straight-run gasoline cut. Distributed in the US by Enfield.
