Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics

Chemical engineering thermodynamics studies how energy and matter move and transform in chemical processes. It explains how substances change state, mix, and react, focusing on energy exchanges like heat and work. This understanding helps engineers design efficient, safe systems—for example, distillation or fuel production—by predicting the behavior of gases, liquids, and solids under different conditions. Essentially, it provides the principles to control and optimize chemical processes, ensuring they run effectively while conserving energy and materials.
