Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics I

At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. perform calculations for various heat effects on industrial reactions as functions of temperature and with or without phase change; 2. use enthalpy-concentration and related diagrams in the analysis of heat effect on industrial reactions; 3. perform calculations of equilibrium constants of reversible reactions; and 4. perform calculations on the effect of temperature and pressure on equilibrium constants and conversions for gas phase, liquid phase and heterogeneous reactions.
