For phase equilibrium in distillation, isn’t it enough to just look at the chapter on physical chemistry? |?
Personally, I would suggest taking a look at \"Principles of Chemical Engineering\" as well
It’s okay, but the content is incomplete; it’s better to read the chapter on distillation in Principles of Chemical Engineering.
I think one should study chemical thermodynamics, as distillation processes involve multiple components and non-ideal conditions.
It’s better to study thermodynamics or separation engineering; the understanding of problems through organic chemistry alone is not deep enough. Both physical chemistry and organic chemistry deal with ideal systems, which serve only as a foundation in research and practical work. Of course, if one’s foundation is weak, it’s better to start with organic chemistry before delving deeper!
Equilibrium in physical chemistry is a fundamental theory; once that is understood, it becomes easier to see its applications in the principles of chemical engineering. I think many of the theories in Physical Chemistry are quite complex; if something is useful in Principles of Chemical Engineering, I can go back and review it then
Tianjin University – the chapter on Distillation in \"Principles of Chemical Engineering\", edited by Professor Chai Chengjing, not only covers theoretical aspects but also integrates practical applications, making the concepts very clear!
Well, it’s never a bad idea to study chemical engineering principles more
Check out \"Principles of Chemical Engineering\" – it has a strong foundational character, and then you can get familiar with the examples in \"Separation Engineering\"!
