Thermodynamics

Not applicable.

In theoretical classes, the syllabus is presented in the form of slides, to which students have access and, whenever justified, the classroom board is used. During the classes and as the concepts, deductions and principles are presented, students are asked to participate, through questions raised by the teacher to the student, or vice versa, to check if they are following the material. In the theoretical-practical classes, students solve the exercise sheets on the various syllabus contents, with the concern to make the monitoring as personalized as possible, especially for those who demonstrate less capacity for performance.

As main objectives it is intended that students: i) understand the basic principles and laws of thermodynamics; ii) acquire theoretical knowledge about Phase Balance Thermodynamics; iii) realize its wide applicability and how, through logical developments, relationships between the different physical properties can be established. At the end of the semester, students should be prepared to work with the different unit systems in problem solving, know how to consult the property tables, apply the 1st Law of Thermodynamics to closed systems and control volumes (steady state), acquire knowledge about the thermodynamics of ideal and diluted ideal solutions and how to apply Raoult’s law and Henry’s law, how to apply Clapeyron’s equation to phase equilibrium, how to construct binary systems equilibrium diagrams and how to apply the lever rule.
