AN ADVANCED REVIEW OF THE BASIC QUANTITIES AND PRINCIPLES OF THERMODYNAMICS
Elias I. Franses
School of Chemical Engineering, Purdue University
March 2016
Abstract
Even though students and professionals in Chemical Engineering and other disciplines have taken courses in thermodynamics, and have a good grasp of how to apply it to various engineering applications, there is a need to understand better some of the basic concepts, quantities, and principles. Moreover, because thermodynamics is often taught in an abstract way, students and professionals have not been sufficiently exposed to the experimental basis of these concepts and principles, and are less familiar with how the basic thermodynamics quantities are measured directly, or indirectly calculated from experimental data. Many chemical engineers find it difficult to explain what is the macroscopic physical and engineering significance of several basic quantities such as enthalpy, the entropy, the Gibbs free energy, and the chemical potential, and how they are measured and used in engineering applications. They may also find it hard to explain why the internal energy is conserved but the entropy increases.
In this talk, I will describe, explain, and justify the need of having eight basic principles or postulates of macroscopic thermodynamics. I will also describe briefly how each of the key quantities is measured from easily obtainable experimental data.
Brief vita
Professor Franses has been teaching thermodynamics, at various levels, and a graduaye course on interfacial and colloidal phenomena at Purdue University since 1979. In 2014 he published a textbook, Thermodynamics with Chemical Engineering Applications, Cambridge University Press. His research interests are surfactants and interfacial phenomena, involving surfactants, micelles, vesicles, liquid crystals, and their applications in lung surfactants, enhanced oil recovery, and stabilization of dispersions of colloidal particles and nanoparticles against agglomeration and sedimentation. With Professor Nien-Hwa Linda Wang, they also have had interests in chromatographic separations of chiral molecules and the mechanisms of chiral recognition. He has advised or co-advised 26 Ph. D. students, and he has authored or co-authored over 130 papers in refereed journals.
