This book concentrates on the topic of physical and chemical
equilibrium. Using the simplest mathematics along with numerous
numerical examples it accurately and rigorously covers physical and
chemical equilibrium in depth and detail. It continues to
cover the topics found in the first edition however numerous
updates have been made including: Changes in naming and notation
(the first edition used the traditional names for the Gibbs Free
Energy and for Partial Molal Properties, this edition uses the more
popular Gibbs Energy and Partial Molar Properties,) changes in
symbols (the first edition used the Lewis-Randal fugacity rule and
the popular symbol for the same quantity, this edition only uses
the popular notation,) and new problems have been added to the
text. Finally the second edition includes an appendix about the
Bridgman table and its use.

Autor

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.
