Argomenti del programma: The laboratory of thermodynamic simulation will focus on the following topics: - Brief introduction of the different modeling approaches for the study of pure components and mixture properties: the equation of state approach and the models for the estimation of activity coefficients of different compounds in mixtures.

Argomenti del programma: Brevi richiami sulla termodinamica di base: grandezze termodinamiche di base, Enthalpia, Energia Interna, calore specifico, ed il loro utilizzo all’interno delle leggi della termodinamica. la Prima Legge della Termodinamica e il suo utilizzo per risolvere semplici problemi termodinamici.

Argomenti del programma: 1. Introduction / Course Overview This course begins with a brief review of fundamental thermodynamic concepts, ensuring a solid foundation for more advanced topics. The key areas covered in the introduction include: Basic Thermodynamic Quantities: A recall of essential properties such as enthalpy, internal energy, specific heat capacities, and their physical significance in thermodynamic systems.

• The course will be based mainly on the materials (slide papers and reviews) that the professors will made available to the students. Additional information about the treated topics can be found in the following books:

Argomenti del programma: The course is divided in two modules covering respectively thermodynamic and transport modelling. Module 1 The first module will focus on modelling tools which can help the analysis of thermodynamic behavior of complex systems. In particular starting from the corresponding state theory, the use of equation of state (e.g van der Waals and generalized cubic equation of states) and of activity coefficient models ( e.g…

Argomenti del programma: The course is divided in 4 modules covering basic principles and advance knowledge related to thermodynamics, transport phenomena (mass, heat, momentum) and possible application to classical and innovative separation processes if interest for offshore engineering.
