Applied Thermodynamics for Biotechnologists Syllabus for B.Tech Fourth sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Applied Thermodynamics for Biotechnologists B.Tech 2016-2017 (R13) fourthsem is as follows
OBJECTIVE:
To enable the students to learn about basic concepts of classical and statistical
thermodynamics
UNIT I : THERMODYNAMIC LAW AND PROPERTIES OF FLUIDS [9 Hours]
First Law of thermodynamics, a generalized balance equation and conserved quantities, Volumetric properties of fluids exhibiting non ideal behavior; residual properties; estimation of thermodynamic properties using equations of state; calculations involving actual property exchanges; Maxwell’s relations and applications.
UNIT II : SOLUTION THERMODYNAMICS [9 Hours]
Partial molar properties; concepts of chemical potential and fugacity; ideal and non-ideal solutions; concepts and applications of excess properties of mixtures; activity coefficient; composition models; Gibbs Duhem equation.
UNIT III : PHASE EQUILIBRIA [9 Hours]
Criteria for phase equilibria; VLE calculations for binary and multi component systems; liquid- liquid equilibria and solid-solid equilibria.
[TOTAL : 45 PERIODS]
OUTCOMES: At the end of this course, the student would have the ability
- To explain the theoretical concepts of thermodynamics and how it applies to energy conversion in technological applications and biological systems.
- To demonstrate the capability to analyze the energy conversion performance in a variety of modern applications in biological systems.
- To design and carry out bioprocess engineering experiments, and analyze and
interpret fundamental data to do the design and operation of bioprocesses. - To describe the criteria when two phases coexist in equilibrium and the vapour liquid equilibrium calculations microbial growth and product formation.
