The goal of this course is to prepare the student to formulate and solve material balances and themodynamics in chemical process systems.

D1 - Knowledge and understanding skills
At the end of the course the student should be able to perform material blances and to solve themrodynamics problems in industrial processes.
D2 - Ability to apply knowledge and understanding
The student should be able to apply a choice among the different types of material balances and of thermodynamics laws in industrial processes.
D3 - Autonomy of judgment
The student should be able to critically and analytically apprise the results obtained from material balances and thermodynamics.
D4 - Communicative skills
The student should acquire a technical language and to to be able to describe the results of material balances and phase equilibria.
D5 - Learning skills
The student should be able to perform calculations of material balances and thermodynamics.
