 Synopsis of the Course

This subject addresses the essential concepts of

chemical thermodynamics that are required by
chemical engineers. Starting from fundamentals, it
builds up to prediction of equilibrium states for
vapour-liquid systems that exhibit non-ideal
behaviour. Equation of state, thermodynamic
property relations, the p-V-T behaviour of real
fluids, equilibrium in chemical systems, phase
rules, and determination of thermodynamics
quantities.
 Course Outcomes
CO1: Explain the basic terminology of thermodynamic, the
application of the law of thermodynamic and the general
concepts of equilibrium in chemical engineering problems
CO2: Apply the equation of states in thermodynamics and
determine the value of measured properties P, v and T
using cubic equation of state, virial equation of state and
generalized compressibility charts.
CO3: Identify the fugacity and fugacity coefficient of gaseous
species, activity and activity coefficient of liquid solution,
and excess Gibbs energy using suitable models.
CO4: Calculate the thermodynamics properties of binary and
multicomponent mixtures related to chemical and phase
equilibria.
CO5: Determine the equilibrium composition, equilibrium
constant, extent of reaction, and stoichiometric coefficient
for chemical equilibrium in a single-phase with single-
reaction system or multiple reaction system.
