This course will review the laws of thermodynamics and introduce students to thermodynamic cycles and systems. Equations of state will be covered to determine the properties of real liquid and gas properties. Special emphasis will be placed on applications dealing with chemical equilibrium and phase equilibra for single and multicomponent systems. Methods are presented for the estimation of thermodynamic properties. Safety and statistical process control are covered.
Technical writing is required.
A study of chemical reaction processes with applications to the equipment design. An introduction to process dynamics and the application of control systems. Methods employed for design include shortcut calculations and computer methods. Comprehensive process projects required. An introduction to the engineering properties of plastics and the fundamentals of corrosion.
