Synopsis
This is a core chemical engineering course in classical
thermodynamics. Equations of state will be used to model and
calculate thermodynamic properties of fluids. The laws of
thermodynamics are covered with particular emphasis on
application to chemical processes. The First Law of
Thermodynamics will be used for determining work, heat and
energy of open and closed systems. The Second Law of
Thermodynamics will be used for entropy. Heat engine,
refrigeration and heat pump will be analysed using the Second
Law of Thermodynamics. Common gas and vapour power cycles
will also be introduced.
