Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics II

(Winter quarter)

Outcomes:

At the end of the course the students will be able to:

 Use appropriate equations of state (virial equation of state and cubic equations of state such as van der Waals (vdW), Peng/Robinson (PR), Redlich-Kwong (RK), and Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK)), and tabulated properties of compounds when solving problems involving pure species.

 Use models for vapor-liquid equilibrium, such as the Raoult’s Law, Henry’s Law, and modified Raoult’s Law, to solve particular problems on phase equilibria.

 Apply the acquired knowledge on the thermodynamics of gas mixtures, to interpret and solve problems dealing with real and ideal gases using concepts such as fugacities and fugacity coefficients.

 Apply the acquired knowledge on solution thermodynamics, to interpret and solve problems dealing with real and ideal liquid solutions, using concepts such as fugacities and activity coefficients.

 Select and use a local composition models, such as the Margules equation, the Wilson equation, the Van Laar equation, the NRTL equation, the UNIQUAC equation and others, to calculate activity coefficients of liquids.

 Interpret and solve problems on chemical reaction equilibria, particularly involving calculations of heat of the reaction, Gibbs Free energy of the reaction, extent of the reaction, and equilibrium constants, for single and multi-reactions.

 Apply the acquired knowledge on thermodynamics to interpret and solve problems dealing with phase equilibria, in particular vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE), liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE), and solid-liquid equilibrium (SLE).
