Objectives
At the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Explain the following theoretical concepts: entropy, enthalpy, chemical potential, fugacity, activity coefficients, ideal solution, ideal gas, partial molar properties, infinite dilution, residual properties, excess properties, equations of state, extent of reaction and describe how they are used to make predictions about chemical processes involving multicomponent phase equilibria and reaction equilibria.
- Perform iterative bubble point, dew point and flash calculations for both ideal and non-ideal vapour-liquid systems at phase equilibrium.
- Judge when it is reasonable to make ideal gas and ideal solution assumptions to simplify vapour-liquid equilibrium calculations.
- Apply Gibb's Phase Rule to analyze degrees of freedom in multi-component, multi-phase systems.
- Construct P-x-y and T-x-y phase diagrams using activity coefficient correlations, and perform vapour-liquid equilibrium calculations using phase diagrams.
- Determine Margules and Van Laar parameters from experimental data, and calculate activity coefficients using Margules, Van Laar and Wilson methods.
- Use Henry's Law to perform vapour-liquid equilibrium calculations for dilute systems.
- Use equations of state for vapour-liquid equilibrium calculations.
- Calculate equilibrium constants for chemical reactions.
- Derive and solve reaction equilibrium expressions for liquid-phase, gas-phase and multi-phase reactions to determine how far chemical reactions will proceed before equilibrium is reached.
- Apply Gibb's Phase Rule for degrees of freedom analysis when chemical reactions are involved.
