Thermodynamic Models for Industrial Applications: From Classical and Advanced Mixing Rules to Association Theories

Using an applications perspective Thermodynamic Models forIndustrial Applications provides a unified framework for thedevelopment of various thermodynamic models, ranging from theclassical models to some of the most advanced ones. Among these arethe Cubic Plus Association Equation of State (CPA EoS) and thePerturbed Chain Statistical Association Fluid Theory (PC-SAFT).These two advanced models are already in widespread use in industryand academia, especially within the oil and gas, chemical andpolymer industries.
Presenting both classical models such as the Cubic Equations ofState and more advanced models such as the CPA, this book providesthe critical starting point for choosing the most appropriatecalculation method for accurate process simulations. Written by twoof the developers of these models, Thermodynamic Models forIndustrial Applications emphasizes model selection and modeldevelopment and includes a useful “which model for whichapplication” guide. It also covers industrial requirements aswell as discusses the challenges of thermodynamics in the 21stCentury.
