6. Objectives
The objectives of this course are;
1.
To provide students with tools in applying thermodynamics principles.
2.
To predict physical phenomena and to solve engineering problems.
3.
To teach the students how to use state equations for property calculation.
4.
To define the basic activity coefficient models and how/when to apply them and solve phase equilibria problems for vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE), liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE), vapor-liquid-liquid equilibrium (VLLE), solid liquid equilibrium (SLE), and solid-vapor equilibrium (SVE), as well as chemicalreaction equilibrium.
5.
To show how to use thermodynamics principles and concepts for the analysis of chemical processes.
