CHEME 3130 - Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics

Fall. 3 credits. Letter grades only.

Prerequisite: CHEM 3900.

N. Abbott.

Studies the first and second laws and their consequences for chemical systems. Covers thermodynamic properties of pure fluids, solids, and mixtures; phase and chemical reaction equilibrium; heat effects in batch and flow processes; and power cycles and refrigeration.

Outcome 1: Apply fundamental concepts of thermodynamics to engineering applications. (a,c,d,e,g,h,j,k)

Outcome 2: Work as a team to analyze and design a thermodynamic system (e.g. power generator) and communicate results in a written report. (c,d,g)
