CHE204 THERMODYNAMICS I

Concepts of equilibrium, temperature and reversibility. First law and concepts of heat and work; second law and entropy. Equations of state and thermodynamic properties of pure substances. Engineering applications of these principles in the analysis and design of closed and open systems. Thermodynamic analysis of cyclic processes including power generation and refrigeration.

CHE420 CHEMICAL ENGINEERING LABORATORY III

Intensive laboratory experiments to illustrate the application of chemical and physical principles to chemical processes. Emphasis is given to mass transfer, simultaneous heat and mass transfer, process control and instrumental analysis. Report writing is emphasized.

CHE511 CATALYSIS

The objectives of this course is to expose the student the molecular phenomena on the surface of heterogeneous catalysts through lectures, homework assignments, and in class discussions based on a term project assignment.  Merits and problems relevant to multiscale modeling in heterogeneous catalysis will be particularly addressed.  Surface thermodynamics and microkinetic model analysis will be discussed. Theoretical and experimental methodologies including data analysis will be emphasized.
