With this book the authors provide a solid framework for developing efficient and robust algorithms for calculation of phase equilibrium of non-ideal mixtures as related to the design and operation of complex processes in the chemical and petroleum industry.

Starting from classical thermodynamics, the reader is introduced to the various steps involved in calculating thermodynamic properties and their implication in state of the art phase equilibrium calculation methods, all in a clear and well organized succession.

The material presented in this book is suitable for advanced graduate-level courses. It will also be an essential reference in the industry for scientific and engineering development of efficient computational tools for multicomponent multiphase mixtures.
