Title overview

New MATLAB examples and tools

In this book, two leading experts and long-time instructors thoroughly explain thermodynamics, taking the molecular perspective that working engineers require.

This edition contains extensive new coverage of today's fast-growing biochemical engineering applications, notably biomass conversion to fuels and chemicals. It also presents many new MATLAB examples and tools to complement its previous usage of Excel and other software.
