Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!

This is an introductory course in Thermodynamics and is one of the basic subjects to understand interfacial mass transfer and separation processes like distillation, solvent extraction, etc. The course introduces the concepts of chemical potential and fugacity and emphasizes the principles governing equilibrium for single and multicomponent systems. It discusses ideal as well as non-ideal solutions and deals with the entire range of phase miscibility (completely miscible to totally immiscible). There is a well-balanced coverage of physical concepts, mathematical operations along with examples and exercise problems of practical importance. After completion of the course, the students will be able to apply the basic principles of thermodynamics, the laws, and the pertinent equations to engineering design of mass transfer equipment.

INTENDED AUDIENCE: Chemical Engg, Mechanical Engg, Chemistry, Biotechnology, Petroleum Refining, Metallurgy, Agriculture Engg

PRE-REQUISITES: Basic knowledge of Engineering Thermodynamics desirable

INDUSTRY SUPPORT: Refining and Petrochemical Industry (IOC, HPCL, BPCL etc.), G.A.I.L., O.N.G.C, Shell
