Thermodynamic Models for Chemical Engineering gives an overview of the main thermodynamic models used by engineers and in engineering researcher processes. These fall into two main families, equations of state and activity coefficient models. The book presents the state-of-the-art of purely predictive models.

Part 1 Activity Coefficient Models 1. Correlations for the estimation of thermodynamic properties of pure substances in the liquid, perfect gas, or vapor-liquid states 2. Estimation of thermodynamic properties of pure substances using equation of state: Overview of available models and calculation procedures 3. Low-pressure vapor-liquid and liquid-liquid equilibria of binary systems: Activity-coefficient models 4. Estimation of the themodynamic properties of mixtures from an equation of state: An overview of models and calculation procedures 5. General Summary: decision tree to select a themodynamic model in order to simulate or design a chemical process
