Using an applications perspective Thermodynamic Models for
Industrial Applications provides a unified framework for the
development of various thermodynamic models, ranging from the
classical models to some of the most advanced ones. Among these are
the Cubic Plus Association Equation of State (CPA Eo S) and the
Perturbed Chain Statistical Association Fluid Theory (PC-SAFT).
These two advanced models are already in widespread use in industry
and academia, especially within the oil and gas, chemical and
polymer industries.
Presenting both classical models such as the Cubic Equations of
State and more advanced models such as the CPA, this book provides
the critical starting point for choosing the most appropriate
calculation method for accurate process simulations. Written by two
of the developers of these models, Thermodynamic Models for
Industrial Applications emphasizes model selection and model
development and includes a useful ‘which model for which
application’ guide. It also covers industrial requirements as
well as discusses the challenges of thermodynamics in the 21st
Century.
