Esteban A. Brignole is Professor Emeritus at the Universidad Nacional Sur and Superior Researcher at CONICET PLAPIQUI, Bahai Blanca, Argentina. He is recognized as arguably the most prominent figure in Applied Thermodynamics in Latin America. His major research contributions are the pioneering work on molecular design of solvents and the novel integration of rigorous thermodynamic methods to process engineering, which have gained him international recognition. The leitmotif of his 50-year-long career has been the development of Chemical Engineering in Iberoamerican countries, where he has contributed to the establishment of successful programs of industry/academy collaboration and international cooperation. His idea of organizing EQUIFASE, while still in the early stages of his career, is an example of successful action to promote regional integration. The most prominent characteristic of his personality is his passion for progress and innovation, following Professor Brignole´s favourite quote from George Bernard Shaw: "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.?

Presents a systematic and fully updated study of the application of phase equilibrium tools for the development of chemical processes
Phase Equilibrium Engineering, Second Edition, Volume Thirteen offers a comprehensive study on the application of phase equilibrium tools for chemical process development. This updated edition shifts the focus from computing phase equilibria using thermodynamic relationships to designing and controlling phase conditions essential for various processes. The book emphasizes thermodynamic modeling of mixtures crucial for process synthesis, simulation, design, and optimization, providing updated chapters, new sections, case studies, and additional chapters based on the latest experimental work. The book delves into the relationship between mixture molecular properties, the selection of thermodynamic models, and applicable process technologies. It includes a classification of mixtures, separation processes, thermodynamic models, and technologies to guide engineers. The phase conditions required for reacting systems at subcritical and supercritical conditions are studied. The four cardinal points of phase equilibrium engineering—chemical plant/process, laboratory, phase equilibria modeling, and simulation—are harmonized to improve the design and operation of chemical processes.

Klappentext
Phase Equilibrium Engineering, Second Edition presents a systematic and fully updated study of the application of phase equilibrium tools to the development of chemical processes. The thermodynamic modeling of mixtures for process development, synthesis, simulation, design, and optimization are analyzed. This book changes the focus from the use of thermodynamics relationships to compute phase equilibria to the design and control of the phase conditions that a process needs. In this second edition, the authors have thoroughly updated all chapters with new sections and case studies and added new chapters relating to their expertise and newest experimental work in high pressure labs and modelling of behavior of complex mixtures.
Traditionally, the teaching of phase equilibria emphasizes the relationships between the thermodynamic variables of each phase in equilibrium rather than its engineering applications. This book changes the focus from the use of thermodynamics relationships to compute phase equilibria to the design and control of the phase conditions that a process needs. The thermodynamic modeling of mixtures for process development, synthesis, simulation, design, and optimization is analyzed. The relation between the mixture molecular properties, the selection of the thermodynamic model and the process technology that could be applied are discussed. A classification of mixtures, separation process, thermodynamic models and technologies is presented to guide the engineer in the world of separation processes. The phase condition required for a given reacting system is studied at subcritical and supercritical conditions. The four cardinal points of phase equilibrium engineering are: the chemical plant or process, the laboratory, the modeling of phase equilibria and the simulator. The harmonization of all these components to obtain a better design or operation is the goal of phase equilibrium engineering.
