Abstract
This chapter presents the thermodynamic fundamentals closely related with special distillation processes, which may help readers to understand the separation principle discussed in subsequent chapters. Some novel contents, which are commonly not involved in many classic thermodynamic texts but necessary for understanding, such as salt effect, nonequilibrium thermodynamic analysis, and multicomponent mass transfer, are covered. Compared with the first version of this book, several novel predictive molecular thermodynamic models are added at the beginning in this version. In accordance with the step-by-step rule, the vapor-liquid phase equilibrium is present in the next section, and thus there is some overlapping with common texts.
