Beskrivning

Phase Equilibrium Engineering, Second Edition, Volume Thirteen offers a comprehensive study on the application of phase equilibrium tools for chemical process development. This updated edition shifts the focus from computing phase equilibria using thermodynamic relationships to designing and controlling phase conditions essential for various processes. The book emphasizes thermodynamic modeling of mixtures crucial for process synthesis, simulation, design, and optimization, providing updated chapters, new sections, case studies, and additional chapters based on the latest experimental work. The book delves into the relationship between mixture molecular properties, the selection of thermodynamic models, and applicable process technologies.

It includes a classification of mixtures, separation processes, thermodynamic models, and technologies to guide engineers. The phase conditions required for reacting systems at subcritical and supercritical conditions are studied. The four cardinal points of phase equilibrium engineering-chemical plant/process, laboratory, phase equilibria modeling, and simulation-are harmonized to improve the design and operation of chemical processes.

Includes methodologies that are discussed using relevant industrial examples
Provides phase equilibrium diagrams that are used as a drawing board for process implementation
Focuses on high pressure lab work and thermodynamic modeling of behavior of complex mixtures with new chapters included
Updates existing chapters where appropriate, including new case studies and research

Mer om författaren

Esteban A. Brignole is Professor Emeritus at the Universidad Nacional Sur and Superior Researcher at CONICET PLAPIQUI, Bahai Blanca, Argentina. He is recognized as arguably the most prominent figure in Applied Thermodynamics in Latin America. His major research contributions are the pioneering work on molecular design of solvents and the novel integration of rigorous thermodynamic methods to process engineering, which have gained him international recognition. The leitmotif of his 50-year-long career has been the development of Chemical Engineering in Iberoamerican countries, where he has contributed to the establishment of successful programs of industry/academy collaboration and international cooperation. His idea of organizing EQUIFASE, while still in the early stages of his career, is an example of successful action to promote regional integration. The most prominent characteristic of his personality is his passion for progress and innovation, following Professor Brignole’s favourite quote from George Bernard Shaw: “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man. Selva Pereda is Principal Researcher at the Argentinean National Research Council (CONICET) and Associate Professor at National South University, Argentina. Her research field of interest is the thermodynamic modelling of complex systems and its application to process and product conceptual design for the development of biorefineries. Her contributions are focused on the systematic application of thermodynamic tools to develop pressure-intensified technologies. She is an Editorial board member of the Elsevier Journal of Supercritical Fluids.
