Learning Outcomes
1.
Predict phase behaviour of mixtures using Gibbs Phase Rule.
2.
Estimate thermodynamic properties of binary vapour-liquid
and liquid-liquid mixtures, e.g. using Henry’s Law, Raoult’s
Law, activity & fugacity coefficients.
3.
Determine thermodynamic properties and complex phase
equilibrium with suitable models in simulation packages.
4.
Perform checks on thermodynamic consistency of
experimental data.
5.
Calculate the equilibrium constant for a reaction.
6.
Evaluate the effects of reaction conditions on equilibrium
and conversion of a reaction.
Synopsis
Theorem of Corresponding State and other major equations of
state (EOS). Phase equilibrium: Gibbs Phase Rule, ideal solution,
Henrys Law, Raoults Law, partial molar properties, chemical
potential, fugacity, activity and activity coefficients (including
ionic species). Thermodynamic models (e.g. NRTL, UNIQUAC) for
the estimation of thermodynamic properties and complex phase
equilibria. Helmholtzs and Gibbs free energy, Maxwell relations,
Gibbs-Duhem equation and their applications. Chemical
equilibrium: free energy of formation, standard enthalpy of
reaction, chemical equilibrium in real gas mixtures, chemical
equilibrium in condensed phases, effect of reaction conditions on
chemical equilibrium and conversion. Using simulation packages
e.g. HYSYS and ASPEN.
