Chemical Thermodynamics 7,5 hp

Undervisningen bedrivs på engelska.

Kursinnehåll

The course includes:
- Basic theoretical knowledge in chemical thermodynamics, application of chemical thermodynamics and interfacial physical chemistry.
- 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 treatment of the solutions)
- 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).
- Thermodynamics and sustainability (CO2 emission).
The course contains the following elements:
- Lectures on the advanced thermodynamics, i.e. 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.
