Overview
Modern look at the thermodynamics of hydrocarbon reservoirs
This brilliant, original work offers novel formulations of thermodynamic principles for hydrocarbon reservoirs. The book is packed with valuable step-by-step derivations for retrograde phenomena in capillaries, diffusion and convection, stability and criticality in mixtures, precipitation from complex mixtures, and numerous examples that show in detail how to calculate and apply concepts using the most contemporary techniques.
The book is not only a valuable reference for petroleum and chemical engineers, but can be used by engineers and scientists in different disciplines.
Synopsis
Thermodynamics of hydrocarbon reservoirs from a modern point of view. Comprehensive and clear description of complex mixtures. This brilliant and original work offers novels formulations of thermodynamic principles for hydrocarbon reservoirs. The book is packed with valuable step-by-step derivations for retrograde phenomena
in capillaries, diffusion and convection, stability and critcality in mixtures, precipitation from complex mixtures, and numerous examples that show in detail how to calculate and apply concepts using modern techniques. The presentation of the concepts is made with a unified
approach and, therefore, the book is not only a valuable reference for petroleum and chemical engineers, but can be used by engineers and scientists in different disciplines. The much needed work can also be used as a graduate-level text for petroleum and chemicial engineering.
Problems at the end of each chapter allow students to test and enhance their understanding.
