To obtain knowledges to calculate volumetric and thermodynamic properties of pure fluids, essential for process design, and to evaluate the heat and work for different processes, including refrigeration, liquefaction, turbines and compressors, and the skills to perform energy balances to industrial processes.
At the end of this course students should be able to:
1. Perform calculations to predict thermodynamic properties and assess energy requirements for industrial processes.
2. Develop thinking and solving skills for engineering problems - including the ability to integrate the knowledge obtained in previous courses.
Material balances and unit systems.
