Abbott, Hendrick Van Ness Publisher: McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math; 6th edition (December 14, 2000) ISBN: 0072402962 This book introduces classical thermodynamics for chemical engineering students. Organization of this book is very good and it helps understanding the material more easily. If you found difficulties in using other thermo book (like the one by Sandler), try to buy this book to capture the material far easily.
An Introduction to Statistical Thermodynamics by Terrell L. Hill Publisher: Dover Pubns; (December 1986) ISBN: 0486652424 It's a good way to start statistical mechanics with this book.There are lots of elementary models and concepts in it,such as ideal gas,lattice,polymer,electrolyte... You also can use it as a reference because of the detailed derivation and good index.	Thermodynamics & Kinetics for the Biological Sciences by Gordon G. Hammes (Author) Publisher: John Wiley & Sons; 1 edition (June 16, 2000) ISBN: 0471374911 Employs a wide range of topics in a logical style. All principles and concepts are illustrated through the use of relevant applications and examples from the biological sciences, and explanations are enhanced with problems and references. Softcover. DLC: Physical biochemistry.
The Bases of Chemical Thermodynamics by Michael Graetzel, Pierre Infelta, Michael Gratzel Publisher: Upublish.com; 1 edition (January 1, 2000) ISBN: 1581127723 In this volume (volume 1), the fundamental aspects of thermodynamics are presented. The first and second laws of thermodynamics are illustrated. The need to define thermodynamic temperature and the nature of entropy are explained. The book explores the meaning of auxiliary thermodynamic functions, the origin, usefulness and use of partial molar quantities. Gaseous systems and phase equilibria, in systems where chemical reactions do not take place, are described.	Introductory Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics by J. Richard Elliott, Carl T. Lira Publisher: Prentice Hall PTR; 1st edition (April 5, 1999) ISBN: 0130113867 An up-to-date introduction to applied thermodynamics, this book will help readers master the fundamentals of applied thermodynamics as practiced today: with a molecular perspective and extensive use of process simulation. The book presents extensive practical examples throughout and makes extensive use of models and equations that may be worked with low-cost calculators and spreadsheet software.

Molecular Thermodynamics of Fluid-Phase Equilibria

A guide to interpreting, correlating, and predicting thermodynamic properties used in mixture-related phase-equilibrium calculations. Coverage includes empirical techniques and theory, with material on fundamentals of classical thermodynamics of phase equilibria, thermodynamic properties from volumetric data, intermolecular forces, fugacities in gas and liquid mixtures, viral coefficients for ordinary and quantum gases, polymer solutions, and osmotic systems. This third edition reflects the latest techniques in the field.

Thermodynamics & Its Applications

A text for a three-semester graduate course in chemical thermodynamics emphasizing problem-solving skills in applying fundamentals to new and sometimes unusual situations. Updated from the 1983 edition to add substantial new material on the molecular-level perspective, and reflect other changes in the course at M.I.T it was based on and designed for.

Thermodynamics of Hydrocarbon Reservoirs

Thermodynamics of hydrocarbon reservoirs from a modern point of view. Comprehensive and clear description of complex mixtures. This brilliant and original work offers novels formulations of thermodynamic principles for hydrocarbon reservoirs. The book is packed with valuable step-by-step derivations for retrograde phenomena in capillaries, diffusion and convection, stability and critcality in mixtures, precipitation from complex mixtures, and numerous examples that show in detail how to calculate and apply concepts using modern techniques. The presentation of the concepts is made with a unified approach and, therefore, the book is not only a valuable reference for petroleum and chemical engineers, but can be used by engineers and scientists in different disciplines. The much needed work can also be used as a graduate-level text for petroleum and chemicial engineering. Problems at the end of each chapter allow students to test and enhance their understanding.
