Details:
Prof. Newman is regarded as one of the great chemical engineers of his time, with a reputation built on his mastery of the subject, clarity of thought, and ability to simplify complex problems. He has been teaching at the University of California, Berkeley, since 1966, and his teaching method involves writing out everything he expects to convey to his class on a subject. This book is a direct reproduction of those lecture notes.

The book covers fundamental concepts required to define single- and multi-component systems, starting with the Gibbs function. It guides readers in deriving concepts such as entropy and temperature and exploring material properties of pure substances. The book also delves into applications of thermodynamics, including cycles, open systems, and phase transitions, before exploring chemical and phase equilibria in multi-component systems. All concepts necessary for engineers are clearly explained.
