First sentence: The thermodynamic study of technological processes has two objectives: Determination of the overall thermal effect of chemical transformations that take place in the industrial process Determination of the equilibrium composition for a broad range of temperatures and pressures in order to deduce optimum working conditions and performances The manner in which the two objectives are approached within the conditions of chemical technology is different from the classical approach and requires the use of the specific methodology outlined in this chapter.
