Learning outcomes
|
This course builds on the knowledge gained in physical chemistry. It aims to demonstrate the practical application of theoretical concepts to real-world problems. Teaching is supported by the use of computer software such as EXCEL and Matlab, as well as modern laboratory instruments. To pass the course, students are required to complete and present an assigned project.
Students extend their knowledge obtained from general and physical chemistry. They are supposed to be able to apply the new skills to solve chemical-engeneering problems with the main focus on thermodynamics and phase behaviour of fluids.
