| Course contents : | The subjects teached in this course are : Basic definitions in thermodynamics:systems,variables and state functions. Reversible and irreversible transfer of heat and work ( PdV, mechanical ,useful ). Internal energy and enthalpy : microscopic components . First principle : total energy conservation; application to isolated, closed and adiabatic systems. Compression and expansion ( isothermal or adiabatic ) of perfect and Van der Waals gases. Spontaneity and probability of existence of a thermodynamic state . Entropy : its statistical meaning . Entropy and second principle: application to isolated, closed and adiabatic systems. Criterium for spontaneous evolution or equilibrium.Clausius inequality ; irreversible creation of entropy. Calculus of entropy variation in a few reversible and irreversible processes. Thermodynamic cycles ( direct and reverse Carnot ). Absolute entropy and third principle.Entropy variation with temperature and in phases transformations. Standard entropy of a chemical reaction . Free enthalpy : G . Criterium for spontaneous evolution or equilibrium with regard to G . Combination of both first and second principles:relation between the G variation and useful work. G variation in a chemical reaction. Thermodynamical treatment of the chemical equilibrium.Calculus of the equilibrium constant. Thermodynamics of electrochemical cells . Microscopic approach of chemical thermodynamics; the components of molar heat capacity. The Boltzmann law . The chemical potential and the physicochemical equilibria . The phases transformations. The Gibbs theorem . Phase diagrams of pure substances , binary and ternary mixtures ( distillation, eutectic, peritectic,azeotrope, solubility ..). The colligative properties. | ||

| Course objective : | Course CHIM0270-1 introduces the basic concepts of equilibrium thermodynamics and applies them to chemical thermodynamics ( study of various physicochemical equilibria ) and to the study of phase transformations . Theoretical principles of " engineering thermodynamics" are also examined. | ||
| |||
| Prerequisites : | Knowledge of physics, chemistry, mathematics teached during the first year of Bachelor in Sciences of the Engineer. | ||
| |||
| Workshops : | No laboratory but a lot of exercices sessions ( 25 h ) in which theory is illustrated by solving various probems with the students. | ||
| |||
| Organization : | The course ( total of 60 h : 35h of theory and 25 h of exercices ) includes two parts : The first is teached by J.Marien ( 25+20 h ) and concerns essentially the basic concepts of reversible thermodynamics ; the three principles are teached and applied to chemical thermodynamics and conversion of heat into work. The second part is given by E.DePauw ( 10+5 h ) and treats essentially of the chemical potential and its application in the study of phases transformations. | ||
| |||
| Written notes : | The main support consists of two syllabi : a) one is relative to the first part of the course teached by J.Marien ( " Eléments de thermodynamique":Editions de l'U.Lg. ) b) Another syllabus concerns the second part of the course teached by E.DePauw ( it is the same as the one used in first year of Bachelor ) A series of exercices ( with solutions ) can be found on intranet ( portail étudiants de l'U.Lg. ) . | ||
| |||
| Assessment : | In january , there will be a single written examination turning on both parts of the course. | ||
