Abstract
This book is based on lectures that I delivered in the one semester, graduate-level course Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics (10.40) in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). For my teaching of 10.40, I was awarded the Outstanding Teaching Award by the graduate students nine times. Encouraged and motivated by repeated requests from my 10.40 students, in 2016, I finally decided to write this book which is based on my lecture notes, supplemented by many solved sample problems which help crystallize the material taught.
