Ok, so i am a chemical engineering student, and this is supposed to be the textbook. Which allegedly would later on make it a forced reference for a student. However, the only useful information is the steam tables, because the properties and other things are insufficient, trust me, the book has sitted on my shelf unused for a year and a half. I have not sold it because no one here would buy it. The explanations are poor. If you want to know about thermodynamics, this is really not your book, I would rather recommend a Fisicochemistry book.
As for properties tables and the such, well, the information you are really going to use is all summed up in the Chemical Engineer’s Handbook, which is a must for any ChE, even if you’re just a student (believe me, it has saved me a lot of times).

In the new 7th edition I saw for the first time an equation of state explicit for density.

They just keep adding to this book without removing or editing old material. The book has become a chaotic jumble of ideas of the various authors. There are other better books out there.

This book introduces classical thermodynamics for chemical engineering students. Organization of this book is very good and it helps understanding the material more easily. If you found difficulties in using other thermo book (like the one by Sandler), try to buy this book to capture the material far easily.

Good, mainly in Appendix ( steam properties,etc). But I have difficulty in doing your task, I’m very glad if there is a problem-solving for that. Thanks !!!
