Maxwell equations in process Industries.

(a) Yield is the maximum amount of product which can be expected from a reaction based on many parameters taking place in the system. Can thermodynamics help the process engineer to determine the maximum yield of a specified product in a chemical reaction? Justify with examples?

(b) Maxwell equations are thermodynamical equations which are highly helpful in replacing unmeasurable quantities appearing in thermodynamic equations by measurable quantities. Enumerate the applications of Maxwell equations in process Industries.
