Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics

Students will explore the thermodynamic principles that govern chemical reactions, phase equilibria, and energy transformations in chemical processes. This course aims to equip students with the skills to analyze and design thermodynamic cycles, heat exchangers, and chemical reactors. Graduates of this course will be able to apply thermodynamic laws to optimize chemical processes.
