    Course Description: Thermodynamics relates work, heat, temperature, and states of matter
    to each other. From a surprisingly small set of empirically based laws, an enormous amount
    of information about the relationships among equilibrium parameters for a system can be
    deduced. This information can then be applied to physical, chemical, and biological systems
    including chemical process design, materials processing, and cellular processes.

    Course Objectives: In this course, students learn how to apply knowledge of the laws of
    thermodynamics, chemistry, physics, and engineering to analyze and solve physical and
    chemical problems encountered in chemical and biochemical engineering. The course gives
    the student the opportunity to analyze and interpret data, to identify, formulate, and solve
    engineering problems, and to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools
    necessary for engineering practice.

    Students will be introduced to the first and second law of thermodynamics and will learn to
    apply these to the solution of chemical and biochemical engineering problems. Students will
    be provided with the knowledge and awareness to understand the validity and
    physicochemical interpretation of their solutions. Students will be introduced to the available
    computational tools in solving thermodynamics-related problems.

    Goals: The objective of this course is to introduce students to the principles of


    thermodynamics as they apply to physical and chemical processes.

    Knowledge, Abilities, and Skills Students Should Gain From This Course: 1. The
    students should be able to apply energy balances to open and closed systems and to
    evaluate the thermodynamic efficiency of compressors, turbines, Rankine cycles, and
    refrigeration cycles. 2. They should be able to derive property relationships using
    multivariable calculus and be comfortable using steam tables, pressure-enthalpy (P-H),
    temperature-entropy (T-S), and enthalpy-entropy (H-S) charts. In addition, the students
    should be able to calculate residual properties with equations of state. 3. The student should
    be able to use computer software (such as ThermoSover) for the calculation of
    thermodynamic properties of pure substances and mixtures.

    Impact on Subsequent Courses in Curriculum: This is the first in a sequence of two


    courses in Thermodynamics (155:208 & 155:309). Students completing 155:208 will be
    required to take 155:309 in the fall semester of their junior year.

    The material covered in this course (155:208) forms the fundamental basis for the topics of
    phase equilibria, fugacity, chemical reaction equilibria and Gibbs free energy that will be
    covered in 155:309. Thermodynamics in general plays an important role throughout chemical.
    engineering including 155:324 Design of Separation Processes, 155:427 & 428 Chemical &
    Biochemical Engineering Design & Economics, 155:441 Chemical Engineering Kinetics.
    Thermodynamics is one of the main pillars of chemical engineering; others include transport
    phenomena and reaction kinetics.
