Editorial Review:
An up-to-date introduction to applied thermodynamics, this book will help readers master the fundamentals of applied thermodynamics as practiced today: with a molecular perspective and extensive use of process simulation. The book presents extensive practical examples throughout and makes extensive use of models and equations that may be worked with low-cost calculators and spreadsheet software.

It was like they told 2008-07-10
It was great... I order a newer book with expideted shiping. Guess what IT DID NOT ARRIVE. So this was a little damage in the cover arrive promptly and was my best choice. The book was in better conditions of what I expected.
Overall and Excellent Textbook  2007-01-16
I have used this textbook for the last three years in my undergraduate chemical engineering thermodynamics course. Material is presented in a general way and teaches students general problem solving strategies so they can solve any problem, not just a few convenient special cases. There are numerous examples provided for each section of the text and each example is presented step by step. There are a wide range of problems provided at various levels of difficulty from easy to very difficult. In addition, the authors provide a number of Excel spreadsheets and computer programs so that students can solve very complicated phase equilibria problems with little effort.
The only negative comment I have is that the last copy of this textbook I recieved was printed poorly, and the binding fell apart after only one semester of use. The previous two copies I received did not have this problem.
In response to the poster who said their tutor called it a "waste of money", one should keep in mind that this is a chemical engineering textbook, while the Boles text is geared toward mechanical engineers. By the time chemical engineering students take thermodynamics, they have had a year of chemistry, followed by organic chemistry and physical chemistry (or are taking p-chem at the same time as their thermodynamics course). In addition, ChE majors also get basic thermodynamics (1st Law energy balances) in Material and Energy Balances. This text picks up right where the MEB course ends.

I have read the book that was written by Prof. Elliott and Prof. Lira while I was a M.Sc student in Iran. Chapter 15 captured my interests and that's why now I am a Ph.D. student in Prof. Elliott's group. I would suggest the authors to update Chapter 15 and give more FORTRAN programs related to this chapter to readers and explain it in a more coherent way. Also, they should compare their's with Sandler's thermo book to gather some new ideas for the next edition. The name of the book also should be changed for future edition since it's objective is for both undergraduate and graduate students. Finally, I should say that this book was the best thermo book I have ever read.

Introductory? Says who?  2000-07-28
I bought this book a few weeks ago thinking that it will give me a good base to begin my first thermo course next year. I was so lost and confused by the book that I immediately sought help, and my tutor told me that I had completely wasted my money. If you are someone who has never done thermo before, like myself, save your money for something more useful: there is nothing introductory about this text. Try checking out Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach by Boles (a MUCH better introductory text-book).
Makes you work! 2000-05-19
I think the text was pretty good; it made you consult references frequently, and that is a necessary skill to have as an engineer. As an engineer you have to know how to pick up theory and put it to use quickly. The problems were rough and time consuming, but that's because no problems in engineering are easy! When completed, though, you are satisfied. To the last guy: "physics" is the one major that can do anything! Everything in science is either physics or bug collecting, whether you like it or not :) But, engineering is more marketable.
