Assignments Format:

Standard Format for Chemical Engineering Problems
An engineer's work should be neat, well organized, and easy to follow. You are expected to follow this standard format for completing chemical engineering problems. Points may be deducted for work that does not adhere to this format.
1. Use 8.5x11 paper for engineering problems.
2. The problem statement is needed before the solution ; a drawing is usually required.
3. No credit will be given for final answers that do not show work involved.
4. Draw a box around your answers. Be sure to include units.
5. The top of each page should contain the following information from left to right:
Course & Section # | Assignment # | Your last name, 1st name | Page #/Total pages
6. Staple all pages of an assignment together in the upper left corner.

Course Description:

Phase Equilibria of ideal and non-ideal systems. Concepts of fugacity, activity, and activity coefficient. Calculation of thermodynamic properties from laboratory data. Enthalpy changes of mixing. Chemical reaction equilibria. Thermodynamic design of processes involving phase equilibria. Heat engines, heat pumps, steam power plant, refrigeration cycles.
