<p>The unit aims to:</p><p>Develop and apply the laws of thermodynamics into working equations to describe and predict phase and chemical equilibria and apply these to chemical engineering processes.</p><p> </p>
<p>Students will be able to: </p><p>ILO1. Use a knowledge of intermolecular forces to qualitatively predict the properties of bulk matter</p><p>ILO2. Apply equations of state to predict the properties of one-component systems and binary mixtures</p><p>ILO3. Apply activity coefficient models to predict the properties of liquid binary mixtures</p><p>ILO4. Manipulate the equations governing chemical equilibria so as to model chemical engineering processes</p><p>ILO5. Solve and critically evaluate phase and chemical equilibria analytically and by means of computer-based modelling programs</p>
<p>Fundamental aspects supporting the critical learning of the module will be delivered as pre-recorded asynchronous short videos via our virtual learning environment. These will be supported by synchronous sessions with master lecture content, Q&A, and problem-solving sessions where you can apply the new concepts.</p><p>Surgery hours are also available for drop-in support.</p><p>Students are expected to expand the concepts presented in the session and online by additional reading (suggested in the Online Reading List) in order to consolidate their learning process and further stimulate their interest to the module.</p><p><strong><u>Teaching Activities</u></strong></p><p>Lecture - 18 hours<br/>Workshop - 4 hours<br/>Assessment (Revision/Preparation) - 28 hours<br/>Independent Study - 50 hours</p>
