CN2121: Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics
A core module for the 2nd year chemical engineering undergraduate students. It provides fundamental concepts and basic thermodynamic laws for analysis of thermodynamic problems in chemical engineering. The module covers: basic thermodynamic concepts and properties; zero, first, second and third laws of thermodynamics and their applications; general mass, energy, and entropy balances; equations of state; thermodynamic relations of fluids; thermodynamic analysis for refrigeration and liquefaction processes; phase and chemical reaction equilibria.
CN2122: Fluid Mechanics
A core module for the 2nd year chemical engineering undergraduate students. The module covers: the classification of fluids and their properties; static fluids; the integral and differential forms of fundamental equations (continuity, momentum and energy equations); momentum transfer by shear stress; dimensional analysis and similarity; boundary layer theory; viscous flow and turbulence. The practical aspect involves the consideration of flows in closed conduits. Basic concepts about fluid machinery are also covered.
CN5030: Advanced Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics
A core module for chemical engineering postgraduate students. The objective is to provide students with advanced thermodynamic principles, which can be applied to analyze complex physical/chemical processes and facilitate experimental design in chemical engineering. The module covers: intermolecular forces; basic statistical mechanics; molecular theory of corresponding states; fugacity and properties of gas/liquid mixtures; criteria of equilibrium and stability; solution thermodynamics; thermodynamics of electrolytes and polymers; principles and applications of molecular simulations.
