Using Aspen Plus in Thermodynamics Instruction: A Step-by-Step Guide

Stanley I. Sandler offers a step-by-step guide for students and faculty on the use of Aspen in teaching thermodynamics. The book shows how easily-accessible, modern computational techniques are opening up new vistas in teaching thermodynamics, using a range of applications of Aspen Plus for the prediction and calculation of thermodynamic properties and phase behavior.

The book encourages students doing out-of-classroom self-study to develop engineering insight by doing repetitive calculations with changes in parameters and/or models. It emphasizes the application of thermodynamics to real problems.
