Course Description
In this class we review classical thermodynamics and introduce the
fundamentals of statistical thermodynamics and their applications in
solving chemical engineering problems. In particular, we emphasize the
concept of equilibrium and a systematic approach to calculate various types
of phase equilibria using thermodynamic models. We will also learn how
macroscopic thermodynamic properties can be determined from
microscopic molecular interactions in statistical thermodynamics.
