The simulation and optimization of processes assumes that the thermodynamic properties and phase equilibria of the mixtures concerned are well known. This knowledge is still based upon experimentation, but it is also the result of calculation methods based on the principles of thermodynamics that govern them, insure their coherence, and confer upon them a wide range of application. This text is concerned primarily with the description of these methods and their evolution. It devotes extensive space to fundamental concepts and places particular emphasis on the "models" that, although based on simplified concepts of the subject matter at the molecular level, have "predictive" character. Computational examples are used to explain the application of these concepts and models.

 

This book is available in French under the title "Thermodynamique".
