Dieses bewährte Lehrbuch bietet in der 7. Auflage eine Einführung in die gemeinsamen Grundgesetze der Energie- und Stoffumwandlungen. Es betont die Rolle der Thermodynamik als systemanalytische Methode und vermittelt einen ersten Einblick in die Grundprozesse der Energie-, Verfahrens- und Umwelttechnik. Zu jedem Kapitel werden Kontrollfragen und Aufgaben gestellt, deren Antworten bzw. Lösungen sind in eigenen Anhängen zu finden.

Die Grundgesetze der Energie- und Stoffumwandlungen

Thermodynamik

The book guides the reader from the foundations of statisti- cal thermodynamics including the theory of intermolecular forces to modern computer-aided applications in chemical en- gineering and physical chemistry. The approach is new. The foundations of quantum and statistical mechanics are presen- ted in a simple way and their applications to the prediction of fluid phase behavior of real systems are demonstrated. A particular effort is made to introduce the reader to expli- cit formulations of intermolecular interaction models and to show how these models influence the properties of fluid sy- stems. The established methods of statistical mechanics - computer simulation, perturbation theory, and numerical in- tegration - are discussed in a style appropriate for newcom- ers and are extensively applied. Numerous worked examples illustrate how practical calculations should be carried out.

Applied Statistical Thermodynamics

This book presents the development of modern molecular models for fluids from the interdisciplinary fundamentals of classical and statistical mechanics, of electrodynamics and of quantum mechanics. The concepts and working equations of the various fields are briefly derived and illustrated in the context of understanding the properties of molecular systems. Special emphasis is devoted to the quantum mechanical basis, since this is used throughout in the calculation of the molecular energy of a system. The book is application oriented. It stresses those elements that are essential for practical model development. The fundamentals are then used to derive models for various types of applications. Finally, equation of state models are presented based on quantum chemically based models for the intermolecular potential energy and perturbation theory. The book is suited for graduate courses in chemical and mechanical engineering, physics and chemistry, but may also, by proper selection, be found useful on the undergraduate level.

Mathematik trägt immer stärker zur Produktentwicklung und Produktionssicherheit, zur Wertschöpfung und Ressourcenschonung bei. Das Buch erörtert in verschiedenen ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Themenfeldern das Verhältnis von Mathematik und Technikwissenschaften, den Beitrag der Mathematik zur industriellen Wertschöpfung und die Schlüsselrolle der Mathematik bei der Beherrschung komplexer Systeme. Gleichzeitig schlagen die Autoren Maßnahmen zur Verbesserung der Interaktion zwischen Mathematik und Technikwissenschaften, Forschung und Industrie vor.

Produktionsfaktor Mathematik

Mathematics as a production factor or driving force for innovation? Those, who want to know and understand why mathematics is deeply involved in the design of products, the layout of production processes and supply chains will find this book an indispensable and rich source. Describing the interplay between mathematical and engineering sciences the book focusses on questions like How can mathematics improve to the improvement of technological processes and products? What is happening already? Where are the deficits? What can we expect for the future? 19 articles written by mixed teams of authors of engineering, industry and mathematics offer a fascinating insight of the interaction between mathematics and engineering.
