CHE 713 Thermodynamics I
 

 

In depth coverage of chemical engineering thermodynamics principles.  Application of non-ideal fluid-phase chemical potentials to problems of phase reaction equilibria.  Relation to microscopic structure and intermolecular forces to macroscopic thermodynamic properties. 3 credit hours.
 
       

Prerequisite
 
An undergraduate engineering thermodynamics course emphasizing first and second laws and related concepts and an undergraduate chemical engineering thermodynamics class emphasizing fugacity and related concepts, mixture phase equilibria, and chemical reaction equilibria or consent of instructor.

Course Objectives
To present the basic concepts underlying classic chemical engineering thermodynamics in more depth than that found in a typical undergraduate course and to introduce the topic of statistical thermodynamics.

Registration
 

All students must register through the Engineering Online registration site at http://www.ncsu.edu/project/engonline/index.php. You do not have to be admitted to a degree program to enroll in an online course. However, you must have completed a bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, or related area from an accredited institution. Full-time, employed individuals are limited to enrollment in two graduate courses for each semester. On-campus degree seeking students must have approval from their Director of Graduate Programs to register for an Engineering Online course.
