The selection of the most adequate thermodynamic model in a
process simulation is an issue that most process engineer has to
face sooner or later.
This book, conceived as a practical guide, aims at providing adequate
answers by analysing the questions to be looked at. The analysis
(first chapter) yields three keys that are further discussed in three
different chapters. (1) A good understanding of the properties
required in the process, and their method of calculation is the first
key. The second chapter provides to that end in a synthetic manner
the most important equations that are derived from the fundamental
principles of thermodynamics. (2) An adequate description of the
mixture, which is a combination of models and parameters, is the
second key. The third chapter makes the link between components
and models, both from a numerical (parameterisation) and physical
(molecular interactions) point of view. Finally, (3) a correct view of
the phase behaviour and trends in regard of the process conditions is
the third key. The fourth chapter illustrates the phase behaviour and
makes model recommendations for the most significant industrial
systems. A decision tree is provided at the end of this chapter. In the
last chapter, the key questions are reviewed for a number of typical
processes.
This book is intended for process engineers, who are not specialists
of thermodynamics but are confronted with this kind of problems and
need a reference book, as well as process engineering students who
will find an original approach to thermodynamics, complementary of
traditional lectures
