Program

Bachelor degree in Chemical and Petrochemical Engineering Department (160)

Objectives

• Familiarize students with the first law of thermodynamics and its application to specific processes and systems. Provide detailed treatment of the ideal gas law. Develop skills in predicting real behaviour of gases and liquids based on equations of state and generalized correlations for gasses. Extend students ability to determine the properties of the moist air and solve heating and cooling problems through the utilization of the humidity charts. Develop an understanding of entropy and the second law of thermodynamics
