Detailed
description of topics:
Heat capacity and heat- and Gibbs energy of
reaction data,and equations of state nescessary for the calculation of thermodynamic
quantities.Estimation of thermodynamic data,using for example the corresponding states
principle and group contribution methods.Non ideal behaviour of pure substances and
mixtures whereby properties of the chemical potential, the fugacity and the activity will
be considered.The notion of exergy as used for chemical conversions. Application to
physical processes such as separations and chemical reactions such as combustion.

Remarks
(specific information about assesment, entry requirements, etc.):
Make use of the subscription-list of the
student-administration of Mechanical Engineering and Marine Technology to join the written
examination. By making ten problems during the lecture period three extra marks for the
written examination can be obtained. All kinds of information may be used and especially
the book of Smith & Van Ness must be used during the written examination.
|
Goals:
To make the student profecient in the practical
application of thermodynamics for equipment and process calculations
|
Computer
use:
To work out the problems the use of a computer is
necessary
