Take part in our course on Applied Thermodynamics for Sustainable Chemical Engineering and expand your knowledge of the physical properties of pure components and mixtures. This course, organised jointly by ISPT and NPT, has been specially developed for EngD and PhD students, postdocs and engineers from industry.

A thorough knowledge and intuitive understanding of applied thermodynamics are essential for resolving bottlenecks and for optimising, designing and developing sustainable chemical products and processes. This is of great importance in this era of energy and materials transition.

Course highlights

The main topics covered in this course are:

• Physical properties and phase behaviour of pure components and mixtures.
• Methods and models commonly used in process simulations.
• VLE, SLE and LLE (vapour-liquid, solid-liquid and liquid-liquid equilibria).
• Visualisation of phase behaviour.
• Ideal and non-ideal behaviour and their implications for process design.
• Data analysis and regression methods for determining parameters, with a special focus on binary interaction parameters (BIP).
• Estimation methods for properties of pure components and mixtures.
• Practical exercises using ChemSep and COCO.
