Syllabus

Module-I
Evaluation of PVT properties of fluids, Law of corresponding states, Residual volume, Compressibility factor, Equations of state, phase behaviour of pure fluids, Clausious-Clapeyron equation.
Module-II
First law of thermodynamics and enthalpy, Second law: Entropy, Work function, Free energy, thermodynamic efficiency, Heat engine, Refrigeration, and Heat pump. Introduction to the third law of thermodynamics
Module-III
Second law for open system: thermodynamic efficiency analysis of steady state devices like pumps, compressor, turbine, nozzles, and throttles, power cycle.
Module-IV
Phase rule: Theoretical and experimental aspects of phase rule and its use in the study of multi-component systems, Solution thermodynamics, Partial molar properties, Chemical potential, Fugacity.
Module-V
Solution non-ideality: excess properties, residual properties, activity coefficient (Gibbs energy-based liquid models). Gibbs-Duhem equation, Chemical reaction equilibria, VLE and LLE calculations.

To enable students to calculate and analyse the P-V-T behaviour of gases using various equations of state and compressibility charts.

To be able to calculate heat and work transfer associated with closed and open systems, efficiency of steady state devices like pumps, compressors, turbines and so on. The second law limited the efficiency of heat pumps, heat engines, refrigerators, and various cycle efficiencies with respect to the Carnot Cycle efficiency.

To provide ideas about Ideal and non-ideal solutions, partial molar property, residual property, excess property, fugacity, and activity coefficient concepts. Various VLE calculations, including P-T flash, Bubble-P, Dew-p, Bubble –T , Dew-T, mass transfer enhanced by chemical reaction equilibria and LLE calculations

1. To understand the P-V-T behaviors of pure substances.
