Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Implement an engineering approach dealing with a set problem taking into account technical, economic and environmental constraints
    • Design, evaluate and optimise solutions addressing the problem
  • Understand the theoretical and methodological fundamentals in science and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines
    • Identify, describe and explain basic scientific and mathematical principles
    • Identify, describe and explain the basic principles of engineering particularly in their specialising field
    • Select and rigorously apply knowledge, tools and methods in sciences and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines

Learning Outcomes of UE

Establish the relation between the various properties ;
Describe in thermodynamic terms the equilibrium between real phases ;
Evaluate the properties of gases and liquids (pure and in mixtures) ;
Use the relations to solve classical chemical engineering operations (distillation, absorption, adsorption, extraction, chemical reactions).

Content of UE

Fundamental relations ; thermodynamic properties in mixtures ; Gibbs-Duhem equation ; Raoult and Henry's law ; excess functions ; fugacity; activity ; theory of corresponding states ; equations of state ; theories of solutions (Wilson, NRTL, UNIFAC, NRTL, ...) ; liquid-vapour equilibria ; solubilities of gas in liquids ; solubility of solids in liquids; chemical reactions.

Prior Experience

Laws of thermodynamics. 
Thermodynamics relations. 
Mathematical basis
