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 EoS) 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 & 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 emphasises 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.
