  An introduction to Chemical Thermodynamics
  
  This book is aimed at students in the fields of molecular or life science
  and technology. It introduces thermodynamics as a predictive tool and
  discusses the spontaneity of chemical reactions and the power that can be
  obtained from fuel cells.
  The emphasis of the first part is on applications of the Second Law of
  Thermodynamics on (bio)chemical processes and the Gibbs energy is
  introduced as the predictive quantity. The First Law of Thermodynamics is
  introduced merely to manage the energy resources. The last chapter of the
  first part deals with the efficiency of processes where the role of
  entropy is discovered.
  The second part is devoted to chemical and physical equilibria. The
  various relations that exist for equilibria are exposed as universally
  related to the Gibbs energy. Ideal mixing relations and ideal solution
  relations are constantly being used as a simplified approach to the real
  situation. In the last chapter of this part, the deviations from ideality
  are assessed and the magnitude of the fugacity and activity coefficients
  is critically discussed.
  The book is also aimed at chemical engineering students. These need to
  know more about processes and their efficiencies. Therefore the third part
  of the book is devoted to distributed processes. In the first chapter some
  important aspects of formal thermodynamics are discussed, in particular
  the role of entropy to identify equilibrium and stability. The second
  chapter of this part continues this discussion and introduces the concept
  of internal entropy production. To discuss these two issues, systems are
  subdivided into two parts that are not necessarily in equilibrium: the
  system is inhomogeneous. The last chapter of this part explains how fully
  inhomogeneous and flowing systems can be dealt with and how entropy
  production can be managed.
  The fourth - and new - part of the book contains applications to
  macromolecular systems where solution properties, binding phenomena and
  membranes are discussed. This part has been added to provide material for
  a more advanced course. The topics dealt with in these chapters are
  relatively modern and appropriate references to the relevant literature
  are made. The author has tried to present this material from a few
  unifying concepts so as to demonstrate the analogy between the various
  treatments in the current literature. Also, the relation to colloid
  science - even though dealing more with particles than with macromolecules
  - is discussed.
