The scope of the course typically extends beyond basic thermodynamic principles and delves into complex topics in thermodynamics. The aim of the course is to familiarize students with modern knowledge of Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics and its applications. Within this course, students engage with complex forms of phase equilibrium, including liquid-liquid equilibrium, vapor-liquid-liquid equilibrium, solid-liquid equilibrium, and solid-gas equilibrium, as they apply to chemical engineering applications.

Emphasis is placed on the applications of thermodynamics in the modeling and simulation of physical separation processes (distillation, liquid extraction, solid-liquid extraction, supercritical extraction, and natural gas processing), as well as on problem-solving using the process simulators ASPEN® Plus and HYSYS.
