Module Number: 44108
Module Title:Thermal Process Engineering and Equilibrium Thermodynamics
  Thermische Prozesse und Gleichgewichtsthermodynamik
Department: Faculty 3 - Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Energy Systems
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr.-Ing. Mauß, Fabian
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every winter semester
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:The module provides knowledge about equilibrium thermodynamics and its important technical applications. Based on the fundamentals in thermodynamics of mixtures, the student will learn how to calculate phase equilibria of real multicomponent systems. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to calculate equilibrium processes as absorption and extraction. The apparatuses for this separation processes can be dimensioned.
Contents:
  • pvt behaviour of real fluids

  • State laws (virial equations, cubic state laws, generalized state laws)
  • Activity coefficient models (Wilson, NRTL, UNIQUAC …)
  • Steam/liquid, liquid/liquid, and solid liquid equilibriums
  • Thermal separation: absorption
