Computer Aided Property Estimation for Process and Product Design: Computers Aided Chemical Engineering

by Georgios M. Kontogeorgis (Editor), Rafiqul Gani (Editor)

Overview

Properties of chemical compounds and their mixtures are needed in almost every aspect of process and product design. When the use of experimental data is not possible, one of the most widely used options in the use of property estimation models. Computer Aided Property Estimation for Process and Product Design provides a presentation of the most suitable property estimation models available today as well as guidelines on how to select an appropriate model. Problems that users are faced with, such as: which models to use and what their accuracy is, are addressed using a systematical approach to property estimation. The volume includes contributions from leading experts from academia and industry. A wide spectrum of properties and phase equilibria types is covered, making it indispensable for research, development and educational purposes.* This book presents the latest developments in computational modelling for thermodynamic property estimation.* It combines theory with practice and includes illustrative examples of software applications. * The questions users of property models are faced with are addressed comprehensively.

Editorial Reviews

"The book provides very useful descriptions and discussions on selected property estimation methods, including illustrative examples. The editors value the importance of experimental data which are needed to validate estimation methods and to develop better and more versatile models." —CEABA/Vtb (2005), Prof. Dr. R. Dohrn
