CHEM ENG 2011 - Process Engineering Thermodynamics

This course provides students with the fundamental concepts and principles of modern chemical and pharmaceutical engineering thermodynamics with an emphasis on relevance to other parts of the chemical and pharmaceutical engineering curriculum. Building on the first law, the second law of thermodynamics will be introduced covering entropy; thermodynamic properties of ideal and real gases; equations of state; multicomponent mixtures; phase equilibria in mixtures; equilibrium of reacting systems; and analysis of power, refrigeration and liquefaction cycles. The course will include a practical demonstration highlighting key thermodynamic concepts.
