Objectives
THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE-TOOLS NEEDED FOR THE UNDERSTANDING AND THE QUANTITATIVE DETERMINATION OF: PVT (PRESSURE-VOLUME-TEMPERATURE) PROPERTIES OF PURE SUBSTANCES, MATERIAL BALANCES, ENERGY BALANCES, THERMODYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM COMPOSITIONS OF PHASES, THE THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF SOLUTIONS, COMPOSITIONS OF SYSTEMS WITH CHEMICAL REACTIONS THERMODYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM.

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
IDENTIFICATION OF THE ELEMENTS THAT ALLOW THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PHENOMENA INVOLVED IN THERMODYNAMIC SYSTEMS CONTAINING ANY NUMBER CHEMICAL SPECIES. THE COURSE PROVIDES TO STUDENTS THE BASIC TOOLS TO ACCESS THE COURSES OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING.
APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING – ENGINEERING ANALYSIS:
STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO TO UNDERSTAND AND USE THE MATHEMATICAL AND PHYSICAL TOOLS FOR THE DESCRIPTION OF CHEMICAL PROCESSES INVOLVING THE THERMODYNAMIC CHANGES.
APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING – ENGINEERING DESIGN
STUDENTS WILL LEARN THE BASICS OF ENGINEERING DESIGN CONCERNING IDEAL ENGINES AND REFRIGERATORS AND WILL OBTAIN THE KNOW HOW TO MAXIMIZE A REACTION COORDINARE

MAKING JUDGMENTS - ENGINEERING PRACTICE:
THE STUDENT WILL DEVELOPTHE ABILITY TO PERFORM THE CHOICES REGARDING THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE TYPE OF THERMODYNAMIC SYSTEM FOR A PROPER DESCRIPTION OF THE PHENOMENA INVOLVED IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING PROCESSES IN TERMS OF MASS AND ENERGY.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS – TRANSVERSAL SKILLS:
THE STUDENT WILL LEARN THE LANGUAGE OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING AND THE ABILITY TO DESCRIBE A PROCESS FROM THE THERMODYNAMIC POINT OF VIEW; THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE FLOW LINES OF ENERGY AND MASS FOR CHEMICAL PROCESSES AND TO MOTIVATE THE CHOICES MADE.
LEARNING SKILLS – TRANSVERSAL SKILLS:
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO APPLY HIS KNOWLEDGE OF THERMODINAMIC SYSTEMS TO CONTEXTS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE.

LEARNING SKILLS – INVESTIGATION SKILLS
THE STUDENTS WILL HAVE THE BASIS TO DEEPEN HIS KNOWLEDGE IN DIFFERENT FIELDS, THANKS TO THE BASIC KNOWLEDGE AND LANGUAGE AQUIRED
Prerequisites
FOR THE SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVEMENT OF COURSES' GOALS, THE KNOWLEDGE OF CHEMISTRY, PHYSICS AND MATH CALCULATIONS IS REQUIRED.
