Preface
Massandenergybalance(MEB)analysesarethefirststepsinthecalculationsfor
anengineeringprocess.Theyareusefultoolsforchemical,mechanical,energy,and
environmentengineers.Engineerswillhaveabetterunderstandingoftheprinciples
ofthermodynamicswhentheyhaveagoodperceptionofMEB.MEBisattheroots
oftheimportantissuessuchasprocessdesignandsystemoptimization.Inreality,
we do see a large number of engineeringgraduates who have many difficulties in
thisregard.
Although this book aims at undergraduate students in the engineering fields
mentioned above, it can also be used by professionals with similar training back-
grounds. With about 15 years of teaching experience, we decided to publish this
work so thatit can reach morepeoplein the world. In this book,we have tried to
explain the materials in a simple way, and the practice problems are solved by
relativelynewtechniquesthanmanyexistingreferences.
Following a brief introduction to basic concepts, Chaps. 1 and 2 present the
general and important physical properties that are needed for MEB calculations.
Chapter3containsbasicmaterialsinmassbalancecalculations.Sincethefluidsand
their states play an important role on energy balances, information and equations
for fluids are presented in Chap. 4. Energy balance principles are presented in
Chap. 5. Chapter 6 focuses on the simultaneous calculation of energy and mass
balances,whichfindsmanyapplicationsinindustries.
Chapter 7 is devoted to nanotechnology-related subjects. It aims to provide a
state-of-the-artliteraturereviewinmassandenergybalancesfornanoparticlesand
nanoscalethermodynamics.Duetothecomplexityofthermodynamicpropertiesof
nanoparticles, some thermodynamic methods are introduced to mass and energy
