Thermodynamic analysis of systems, using the principles described in Chapter 8, “Computations in Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics,” allows us to determine the magnitude, efficiency, and directionality of the changes occurring in the system [1]. Unfortunately, these analyses do not provide any information about the rate ...
