Thermodynamics

Not applicable.

In the theoretical lectures the contents are presented in the form of projections, to which students have access, and, whenever it is necessary, the board of the classroom. During the class, and as the concept, assumptions and principles are presented, students are required to participate through questions raised by the teacher to the students, or vice versa, to check that they are monitoring the matter. In class tutorial guidance, students solve the worksheets on several matters, with a concern to make up for a more customized to those who show lower performance capability. To pass at Thermodynamic the student must have a minimum score of 10 values in final exam.

As main objectives is intended that students: i) learn the basics principles and laws of thermodynamics; ii) acquire theoretical knowledge about the thermodynamics of Phase Equilibrium; iii) be aware of its wide applicability and how, through logical developments, one can establish relations between various physical properties. At the end of the semester students should be prepared to work with the different systems of units in the resolution of problems, know how to consult the tables of properties, how to apply the 1st Law of Thermodynamics for closed systems andcontrol volumes (steady-flow process), how to acquire knowledge about thermodynamics of ideal solutions and ideally diluted solutions and how to employ Raoult’s law and Henry’s law, how to apply the Clapeyron equation to phases equilibrium, drawing equilibrium diagrams of binary systems and have ability to use the lever rule.
