| Scope and form: Lectures, class room problems and computer exercises (in teams of two) in the first two weeks. During the final week the participants complete and write a report on a major exam problem. |
| Evaluation: Project report
|
| Prerequisites: Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics and a working knowledge of Fortran |
| Participant limitation: Min. 10 Max. 20 |
| Aim: The course is of relevance for researchers engaged in the development and implementation of thermodynamic models for process simulation. |
| Contents: The state functions, the second law, conditions of equilibrium, derivation of thermodynamic properties, checking model expressions and model consistency. Equilibrium and stability, critical points, effects of gravitation, surface tension and thermal gradients. Chemical equilibrium. Equations of state, corresponding state models and excess Gibbs energy models. Mixing rules from excess Gibbs energy models. Chemical - and association models General equilibrium relations and material balances. The PT-flash: Successive substitution, the Rachford-Rice equation, acceleration, higher order methods and stability analysis. The multiphase flash. General state function based specifications. Dew- and bubble points, stability analysis and the calculation of critical point. Chemical equilibrium calculation. |
| Remarks: The course is only given on even years |
