Course content
Introduction, basic postulates and laws of thermodynamics. Simple ( = one components homogeneous) systems: thermal equation of state - energy functions - heat capacity - the general shapes of the thermodynamic equation of state - deviations of variables from the idealized states - the absolute value of entropy - open thermodynamic systems - the chemical potential. Multicomponent systems without chemical reactions: state of system - Gibbs phase rule - molar, volumetric and thermal balance of mixing processes - integral, partial molar and partial molar mixing quantities - two component two phase ideal systems. One component heterogeneous systems: phase diagrams showing phase changes - thermodynamic properties of two phases - equilibrium conditions - Clausius-Clapeyron equation Thermochemistry: stoichiometric equations - mass balance - volumetric balance - first law of thermodynamics applied to chemical equations - the reaction enthalpy and energy - II . law of thermodynamics applied to chemical equations - chemical equilibrium - range of reactions - equilibrium constant - the basics of combustion
