CHME 6632 - Advanced Chemical Thermodynamics

Prerequisite: instructor approval. The primary objective of this course is to prepare students to effectively solve problems directly related to the fundamental science and engineering of thermodynamic systems. Students will apply the first and second laws of thermodynamics to batch and flow processes important in chemical engineering for homogeneous and heterogeneous systems, mixtures, and pure materials. Topics include phase and chemical equilibria, chemical reactions, thermochemistry, thermodynamic properties, and miscibility. The methods of entropy generation minimization for commonly studied thermodynamic systems are discussed. 3 credits.
