Synopsis

The selection of the most adequate thermodynamic model in aprocess simulation is an issue that most process engineer has toface sooner or later.This book, conceived as a practical guide, aims at providing adequateanswers by analysing the questions to be looked at. The analysis(first chapter) yields three keys that are further discussed in threedifferent chapters. (1) A good understanding of the propertiesrequired in the process, and their method of calculation is the firstkey. The second chapter provides to that end in a synthetic mannerthe most important equations that are derived from the fundamentalprinciples of thermodynamics. (2) An adequate description of themixture, which is a combination of models and parameters, is thesecond key. The third chapter makes the link between componentsand models, both from a numerical (parameterisation) and physical(molecular interactions) point of view. Finally, (3) a correct view ofthe phase behaviour and trends in regard of the process conditions isthe third key. The fourth chapter illustrates the phase behaviour andmakes model recommendations for the most significant industrialsystems. A decision tree is provided at the end of this chapter. In thelast chapter, the key questions are reviewed for a number of typicalprocesses.This book is intended for process engineers, who are not specialistsof thermodynamics but are confronted with this kind of problems andneed a reference book, as well as process engineering students whowill find an original approach to thermodynamics, complementary oftraditional lectures

Pascal Mougin is Chemical Engineer from the École Nationale Supérieure des Industries Chimiques(ENSIC), in Nancy, and obtained his PhD and more recently his accreditation to conduct research fromthe Institut National Polytechnique de Lorraine (INPL). He has been expert in the Thermodynamic andMolecular Simulation Department at IFP Energies nouvelles, Department which he now heads.

Jean-Marie Ledanois obtained his engineering diploma from IFP School and his PhD from ÉcoleCentrale de Paris. He recently retired as full professor from the Simon Bolivar University in Caracas(Venezuela) and has spent a year as a visiting professor at IFP Energies nouvelles.

Jean-Charles de Hemptinne graduated from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KUL) and owns aPhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He obtained a national accreditation toconduct research from Lyon 1 University, and is active at IFP Energies nouvelles since 1991. He is responsibleof the Thermodynamics teaching unit at IFP School and recently was appointed IFP SchoolProfessor and Tuck foundation chair for "Thermodynamics for biofuels".
