Learning Outcomes

OB1: Interpret phase equilibrium diagrams for single and multicomponent systems and analyse phase transformations.

OB2: Apply material balance calculations to phase equilibrium problems using appropriate methods, including the lever rule.

OB3: Analyse vapour–gas systems, determine humidity-related properties, and use humidity charts for engineering applications.

OB4: Apply the First Law of Thermodynamics to calculate work, heat, and energy changes in closed and open systems.

OB5: Analyse energy requirements in engineering processes and apply thermodynamic concepts to process equipment.

OB6: Develop engineering solutions involving thermodynamic processes, such as drying and air conditioning systems.
