PhysicalChemistry forEngineering andApplied SciencesFrank R. FoulkesToronto, Ontario, Canada

Physical Chemistry forEngineering and AppliedSciences is the product ofthe author’s more than 30years of teaching first-yearphysical chemistry as part ofthe Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering at theUniversity of Toronto. Designed to be as rigorous ascompatible with a first-year student’s ability to under-stand, the text presents detailed step-by-step deriva-tions of the equations that permit the student to fol-low the underlying logic and, of equal importance, toappreciate any simplifying assumptions made ormathematical tricks employed.

In addition to the 600 exercises and end-of-chapterproblems, the text is rich in worked non-trivial exam-ples, many of which are designed to be inspiring andthought-provoking. Step-by-step derivation of allequations enables students to smoothly follow thederivation by sight, and can be understood relativelyeasily by those with moderate skills and backgroundsin mathematics.

Clear and accessible, the book includes topics not nor-mally seen in introductory physical chemistry text-books (ionic reaction rates, activities, and activity coef-ficients) or not regularly explained in much detail(electrochemistry, chemical kinetics), with an eye onindustrial applications. A solutions manual and figure slides are available with quali-fying course adoption

Selected Contents:

Things You Should Know But Probably Forgot. Statesof Matter and the Properties of Gases. The Ideal Gas.The Kinetic Theory of Gases. Real Gases.Thermodynamics. Chemical Equilibrium. PhaseEquilibrium. Mixtures. Colligative Properties. IonicEquilibrium. Acid and Base Dissociation. Bases andTheir Salts. Buffer Solutions. Solubility Equilibria.Oxidation-Reduction Reactions.

OrganicChemistryAn Acid–BaseApproachMichael B. SmithUniversity of Connecticut, Storrs, USA

Based on the premise thatmany, if not most, reactionsin organic chemistry can beexplained by variations offundamental acid-base con-cepts, Organic Chemistry: An Acid–Base Approachprovides a framework for understanding the subjectthat goes beyond mere memorization. The individualsteps in many important mechanisms rely onacid–base reactions, and the ability to see these rela-tionships makes understanding organic chemistry eas-ier. Using several techniques to develop a relationalunderstanding, this textbook helps students fully graspthe essential concepts at the root of organic chemistry.

The reactions and mechanisms contained in the bookdescribe the most fundamental concepts that are usedin industry, biological chemistry and biochemistry,molecular biology, and pharmacy. The concepts pre-sented constitute the fundamental basis of life process-es, making them critical to the study of medicine.Reflecting this emphasis, most chapters end with abrief section that describes biological applications foreach concept.

A First Course inDifferentialEquations,Modeling, andSimulationCarlos A. Smith and Scott W. CampbellUniversity of South Florida,Tampa, USA

A First Course in DifferentialEquations, Modeling, andSimulation demonstrates tostudents how differential equations arise from applyingbasic physical principles and experimental observationsto engineering systems. Avoiding overly theoreticalexplanations, the text covers classical methods forobtaining the analytical solution of differential equa-tions and Laplace transforms. It discusses how theseequations describe mathematical systems and how touse software to solve sets of equations where analyticalsolutions cannot be obtained.

Using simple physics, the book introduces dynamicmodeling, the definition of differential equations, twosimple methods for obtaining their analytical solution,and a method to follow when modeling. It then pres-ents classical methods for solving differential equations,discusses the engineering importance of the roots of acharacteristic equation, and describes the response offirst- and second-order differential equations. A study ofthe Laplace transform method follows with explana-tions of the transfer function and the power of Laplacetransform for obtaining the analytical solution of cou-pled differential equations.

The next several chapters present the modeling oftranslational and rotational mechanical systems, fluidsystems, thermal systems, and electrical systems. Thefinal chapter explores many simulation examples usinga typical software package for the solution of the mod-els developed in previous chapters.

Providing the necessary tools to apply differential equa-tions in engineering and science, this text helps stu-dents understand differential equations, their meaning,and their analytical and computer solutions. It illustrateshow and where differential equations develop, howthey describe engineering systems, how to obtain theanalytical solution, and how to use software to simulatethe systems.Solutions manual and figure slides available with qualifyingcourse adoption
