Objectives:

The objectives of this course are to understand and apply the theory of Thermodynamics and transport properties, to distinguish the thermodynamics of properties from the thermodynamics of systems, to acquire the capacity to calculate properties from a minimal set of experimental data, and to gain the abilty to estimate properties based on chemical behavior. Topics include derivation of the Gibbs Equations and Maxwell relations, advanced equations of state, molecular structure and fugacity, mixing rules, and vapor-liquid equilibrium calculations.
