Chemical Thermodynamics 7.5 credits

The course deals with basic theoretical knowledge in chemical thermodynamics, application of chemical thermodynamics and interfacial physical chemistry. - Lectures on the chemical thermodynamics and thermodynamics of interface, and its application (some examples in the actual processes) - Exercises on the chemical thermodynamic calculation - Laboratory sessions on chemical thermodynamics The course includes the following elements: - Calculation of thermodynamic equilibrium (Gibbs energy, van't Hoff isotherm, Ellingham diagram) - Calculation of activity and activity coefficient (Wagner's equation, Henrian and Raoultian standards) - Thermodynamic treatments of the surface/interface (Gibbs dividing surface, Guggenheim model, Nucleation) and interfacial phenomena in the high-temperature system - Thermodynamic treatments of the phase and phase diagram (Gibbs energy change, phase rule, etc.) - Calculations using a thermodynamic calculation software and a multiphysics simulation software (Lab activities) - Chemical thermodynamics and environmental sustainability (e.g., reactions related to the CO2 emission and its calculation)
