Intended learning outcomes
- Use the fundamental laws of macroscopic thermodynamics to solve quantitative problems, through the appropriate mathematical tools to determine state variables and functions;
- Solve and interpret theoretical issues relating to fundamental concepts of TM, including functions and thermodynamic variables and their relationship with experimental concrete situations;
- Solve problems of medium/advanced complexity by identifying the underlying principles to interpret and criticize the results in view of a correct application of chemical engineering thermodynamic concepts;
- Interpret the diagrammatic representation of the thermodynamic behavior of pure substances and simple mixtures in real systems;
- Apply the acquired knowledge to the interpretation of phase equilibria of multicomponent, systems and chemical and electrochemical equilibria, in particular calculation of equilibrium constants, equilibrium composition and Nernst equation.
