(2) Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics, 5/e, by

J.C. Smith and H.C. Van Ness, McGraw-Hill (1987). Chapters 3 &5.

PREREQUISITE: CHE 201 , MATH 201.

OBJECTIVE:

Introducing students to thermodynamics. The first law is studied in details including combined mass and energy balances for reactive and non-reactive systems. The equation of state of real gases and liquids is studied. The second law and entropy are also covered.

BULLENTIN DESCRITION:

The first and second laws of thermodynamics are studied in detail. Material covered includes concepts of energy, enthalpy, heat effects, conservation of energy, interaction between heat transfer, mechanical work and chemical energy liberation, equation of state, behavior of gases and liquids and standard heat of reaction, formation and combustion. Study of combined mass and energy balances.
