Language(s) of instruction :
|
| French language |
|
Organisation and examination :
|
| Teaching in the first semester, review in January |
|
Course contents :
|
| The course reviews methods allowing to evaluate physical and thermodynamic properties of pure components. After a revision of thermodynamic functions and their evaluation for the ideal gas, PVT relationships (equations of state) are introduced, which leads to the concept of residual functions.Major predictive methods for thermodynamic properties of pure components are addressed (coresponding states, group contributions), before presenting the main types of equations of state. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| Acquire skills allowing to evaluate in practice all thermodynamic properties based on available data, even in case some information is missing and should be estimated.
A second goal of the course is to acquire knowledge to select the most appropriate methods among the array available in modern computer aided thermodynamic data systems, and to assess the precision and reliability of these estimation methods. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Chemistry (CHIM9272-2 et CHIM9273-1)
Rudiments of thermodynamics (CHIM0286-1) |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| The goal of practical applications is to illustrate the concept explained during theoretical lessons. This is achieved by manual calculation of a few properties using various estimation methods. Softwares allowing to predict pure component properties from the molecular structure are also used. One personal application involves retrieving properties in several data bases. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| 2 hours/week lectures (theory), beginning of fall session (face-to-face).
2 hours/week practice, parallel to theoretical lectures (2 hours/week). |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Recommended reference book : J. Vidal, Thermodynamique (editions Technip 1997) (in French, but an English edition is now available).
Copies of presentation materials (slides). Spreadsheets illustrating some concepts and computer programs are available for class room usage. All teaching and practice material is available on the eCampus portal. |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| One personal homework : report is evaluated. Regarding the report, a deadline is decided in agreement with the students' schedule. Any postponement of the report handing would lead to penalties.
Written examination in January with two parts : theory (without documents) and numerical application (open book).
The final marks takes these three parts into account. |
