| Course description | This course provides a basic grounding in the principles and methods of Classical Thermodynamics, gas and vapour cycles. It concentrates on: understanding the thermodynamic laws in relation to familiar experience; phase change, ideal gas and flow processes; using sources of data such as thermodynamic tables and charts. The course also aims to introduce the concepts of Gibbs free energy and chemical potential and to relate these to both phase equilibrium and chemical reaction equilibrium in ideal systems. To introduce the Equations of State. To enable students to calculate heats of reaction and equilibrium concentrations for gas phase reactions using standard thermodynamic data. |

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
Develop an understanding of the basic notions: thermodynamic systems, states, properties, work, heat, energy.
2. Develop an understanding of phase transitions of simple substances and the use of thermodynamic tables and charts.
3. Represent power generation and refrigeration cycles on T-S and P-H diagrams and determine the power generation or requirement for a given thermal duty.
4. Detailed description of ideal gas processes; Introduction to steady and unsteady flow processes.
5. Develop an understanding of the basic concepts, processes and laws in relation to familiar experience.
6. Determine the number of Components in a system. Apply the phase rule to determine degrees of freedom and show how these may be satisfied.
7. Describe the significance of Chemical Potential in mixtures.
8. 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. |
