Course detail
Systems Engineering I
FSI-KS1Acad. year: 2010/2011
The course of Applied Physical Chemistry is the theoretical base for studying process engineering and the construction of chemical equipment.
The course makes students familiar with the methods of calculation of physical properties and features of gaseous and liquid substances and their mixtures (density, viscosity, thermal conductivity, diffusivity), and behaviour of gaseous and liquid systems, calculation of phase equilibrium in the gas-liquid systems.
Further the thermodynamic and kinetic factors effecting the chemical processes are studied, in particular the condition of equilibrium of chemical reactions and heat of reactions.
