Join our Applied Thermodynamics for Sustainable Chemical Engineering course and gain insights into the physical properties of pure components and mixtures. This course, co-organised by ISPT and NPT, is tailored for EngD and PhD students, postdocs and industry engineers.

A sound knowledge and intuitive understanding of applied thermodynamics is vital for the removal of bottlenecks, optimisation, design and development of sustainable chemical products and processes in this era of energy transition and materials transition.

Who is this course for?

  • EngD and PhD students
  • Postdocs
  • Industrial engineers

Course highlights

The main topics of this course include:

  • Physical properties and phase behaviour of pure components and mixtures.
  • Methods and models typically used in process simulations.
  • VLE, SLE and LLE.
  • Visualisation of phase behaviour.
  • Ideal and non-ideal behaviour, and their implications for process design.
  • Data and regression to determine parameters, particularly the binary interaction parameters (BIP).
  • Estimation methods for the properties of pure components and mixtures.
  • Practical exercises (using ChemSep & COCO)

Instructors

  • Antoon ten Kate, Chemspiration
  • Harry Kooijman, Clarkson University & ChemSep
