Goals:

This course is designed to improve the ability of 3rd year chemical engineering students to apply thermodynamics in chemical engineering systems which are both theoretical and practical in character. Addressing the evolutions occurring in the field of applied thermodynamics and computer technology, the students are introduced with molecular perspective in the refinement in the thermodynamic models for fluid properties and computational tools therein.

Course Objectives:

(b) Enhance the understanding of basic concepts in thermodynamics

(c) Acquire knowledge for thermodynamic treatment of pure fluids with general application of the first and second laws, and expanded treatment of flow processes

(d) Acquire a comprehensive exposition for the theory and application of solution thermodynamics

(e) Understand the thermodynamics of chemical reaction equilibria 

(f) Address the evolutions occurring in the field of applied thermodynamics and computer technology and become familiar with molecular perspective in the refinement in the thermodynamic models for fluid properties and computational tools therein
