Aim: The goal of the course is to give the students a thorough description of new methods and theories, which can be used to calculate thermodynamic properties of non-ideal mixtures. The emphasis is on properties needed for the calculation of phases in equilibrium.
Contents: Computation of fugacities in gas and liquid mixtures using equations of sate (EOS). Models for excess properties in non-ideal liquid mixtures. Group-contribution models. Parameter estimation for EOS and liquid models. Thermodynamic consistency of vapor-liquid equilibrium data. Vapor-liquid, liquid-liquid, gas-liquid and solid-liquid equilibria. Solutions of polymers and electrolytes. Computation of transport properties (viscosity, thermal conductivity, diffusivity).
