CONTENT
OBJECTIVE
To equip the students with a basic understanding of equilibrium, both from a macroscopic and a microscopic viewpoint, so that they can (i) perform the energy balance for a system and analyze the energy transfer processes in the system; (ii) interrelate various thermodynamic functions so that hard-to-measure properties may be determined through the measurable ones; (iii) develop a basic understanding of phase behavior.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- State and explain general concepts used in thermodynamics including the system and its surroundings, mechanisms of energy transfer; state versus path function.
- Interpret the basic assumptions of the ideal gas law and illustrate how the van der Waals equation of state rectifies these assumptions to lead to a gas <-> liquid phase transition behavior and the critical point.
- Using published data, such as heat capacity, calculate the internal energy, enthalpy changes of a system with respect to a reference state.
- Apply the first law of thermodynamics by performing a detailed balance of energy transfer for a variety of real systems involving thermal energy, calculate efficiency in energy conversion
- Define second law of thermodynamics and using published data calculate the entropy change of a system and surroundings
- Write the entropy rate balance for control values and calculate the entropy production
- Define and calculate the Gibbs and Helmholtz free energy changes in various systems using Maxwell's relations, write the differential forms of state functions
- Define chemical potential and relate it to change in Gibbs energy and identify reversibility and spontaneity in changes towards equilibrium.
- Describe the physical, structural, and thermodynamic properties of equilibrium phases and phase transformations in single and two-component systems
- Determine the changes in thermodynamic properties in ideal, non-ideal, dilute, and in regular solutions
- Draw P-V and T-V diagram of pure substances, determine the phase of a substance at different conditions
- Calculate the activities and activity coefficients for real solutions
- Apply the Lever Rule to determine the phase composition in a multi-phase field;
- Define the ideal thermodynamic cycles for gas and gas-vapor systems and calculate the thermal efficiency
