| Course description |
Thermodynamics covers the concepts of Gibbs Free Energy and chemical potential and their relationship to both phase equilibrium and chemical reaction equilibrium in heterogeneous systems and multiple simultaneous reactions.
Mixing rules for Equations of State (EoS) are introduced as well as calculation of vapour pressure from EoS. |

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
Students should be able to:
- apply the phase rule to determine degrees of freedom and show how these may be satisfied
- describe the significance of Chemical Potential in mixtures and understand phase equilibria formulations.
- use Standard heats and free energies of formation to evaluate equilibrium constants, and hence determine equilibrium
- concentrations in reacting mixtures at elevated temperatures and pressures
