Introductory Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics
Dear Readers, Thank you for your comments and criticisms.  We welcome this opportunity to respond. We would like to begin by clarifying a couple of points.  First, our text does cover chemical reaction equilibria in detail (Chapters 14 and 15).  In addition to deriving the fundamental equations from first principles, we present examples, practice problems, and homework problems covering single reactions in a single phase, multiple reactions in a single phase, multiple reactions between vapor and liquid phases, and electrolyte reactions with partitioning between vapor and liquid phases.  We also cover energy balances for reacting systems. The coverage of reacting systems is comparable with other introductory chemical engineering textbooks. Regarding inclusion of additional examples and resources, it is very valuable to refer you to the text's web site.  Amazon prohibits us from giving the link but you can find it if you search for “Introductory Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics”.   We are continually supplementing our textbook through updates on this web site.  You will find sample tests for each unit, supplemental homework problems, review modules, abbreviated presentation slides, computer spreadsheets and programs, virtual guided tours through real plants and equipment, links to phase diagrams, on-line databases, and many more resources.  At present, we are developing review modules that carefully lead students through key concepts with reinforcing examples.  By using the web efficiently, we hope to provide effective supplements for review and self-study. We hope that you will find these comments and our web resources to be useful.  Please keep those Amazon suggestions and criticisms coming.J.R. ElliottC.T. Lira
