Aim: A chemical engineer quite often needs physical-chemical properties of pure substances and mixtures. It will normally be too time consuming and costly to obtain the desired data from experimental measurements. The chemical engineer must therefore calculate the desired data from other available information. Thermodynamics provides the frame work which connects various types of data. The goal of this course is to teach the student how to calculate properties of pure substances and mixtures and to show how thermodynamics can help with the solution of technical problems.

Contents: Use of equations of state and generalized methods for calculating pressure-volume-temperature relations and thermodynamic properties like enthalpy entropy and fugacity for pure substances and mixtures in the gaseous or liquid form. Critical data, vaporpressure and heats of evaporation. Vapor-liquid and liquid-liquid equilibria for binary and multicomponent mixtures. Calculation of activity coefficients. Chemical equilibria (non-ideal mixtures, many reactions, several phases). Refrigeration. Liquefaction of gases. Thermodynamic process analysis.
