Project

Physical and Biophysical Chemistry Division (I)

 

Number: 2002-063-1-100

Title: Chemical thermodynamics in industry

Task Group
Chairman
: T.M. Letcher

Members: Theo de Loos, John Dymond, and Ron Weir

Completion Date: 2004 - project completed

Objective:
To bring to the attention of a wide audience, the pivotal role that Chemical Thermodynamics plays in the Chemical Industry of the 21st century.

Description:
The book is to be written for chemical engineers and industrial chemists, funders of chemical research, and research students and general chemists.
