Learning outcomes
The aim of this course is to apply the theoretical knowledge of physical chemistry to solve various chemical-engineering problems. Modern PC software (EXCEL and MAPLE) and laboratory equipment are used to complete the courses.
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.
Prerequisites
No preceding course is required. Students are expected to understand lectures and recommended textbooks and should be able to speak and write in English. The high school knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry is expected.

Assessment methods and criteria
unspecified
Students are supposed to master the subject within the scope of the lectures. Students are supposed to solve assigned projects and then present their obtained results.
