"Thermodynamics, a key component of many fields of science and engineering, is based on laws of universal applicability. However, the most important applications of those laws, and the materials and processes of greatest concern, differ from one branch of science or engineering to another. Thus, we believe there is value in presenting this material from a chemical-engineering perspective, focusing on the application of thermodynamic principles to materials and processes most likely to be encountered by chemical engineers"--
