He has received 20 national and international awards, and several awards presented by Texas A&M.ĭr. He has authored 280 research papers and 10 books, he has made 130 presentations at national and international meetings. He spent 50 years in academic programs, primarily at Texas A&M University teaching thermodynamics and in various managerial positions.
Kenneth Hall is currently a Senior Development Engineer at Bryan Research & Engineering (a company offering a process simulator program and consulting). Thermodynamics for Chemical Engineers is the ideal resource not just for undergraduate and graduate students in chemical and petroleum engineering, but also for anyone looking for a basic guide to thermodynamics.
Thus, the book helps students bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and basic experiments and measurement characteristics. Suitable for undergraduate and graduate students, the text introduces the basic concepts of thermodynamics thoroughly and concisely while providing practice-oriented examples and illustrations. Given that thermodynamics is an essential course of study in chemical and petroleum engineering, Thermodynamics for Chemical Engineers provides an important introduction to the subject that comprehensively covers the topic in an easily-digestible manner. Moreover, thermodynamics in chemical engineering focuses upon pure fluid and mixture properties, phase equilibrium, and chemical reactions within the confines of the laws of thermodynamics.
Thermodynamics can apply to a wide range of sciences, but is particularly important in chemical engineering, where the interconnection of heat and work with chemical reactions or physical changes of state are studied according to the laws of thermodynamics. Thermodynamics is a vital branch of physics that focuses upon the interaction of heat, work, and temperature with energy, radiation, and matter. Learn the basics of thermodynamics in this complete and practice-oriented introduction for students of chemical engineering
