Download or read book Thermodynamics of Chemical Systems written by Scott Emerson Wood and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1990-03-30 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to develop the concepts and relations pertinent to the solution of many thermodynamic problems encountered in multi-phase, multi-component systems. In doing so, it emphasizes a comprehension and development of general expressions for solving such problems, rather than ready-made equations for particular applications. Throughout the book, the methods of Gibbs are used with emphasis on the chemical potential.
