TRANSCRIPT
CBE 2224B - CHEMICAL ENGINEERING THERMODYNAMICS
COURSE OUTLINE 2017-2018
Description. This course provides the basics of the thermodynamics involved in chemical
engineering with emphasis on thermodynamics properties of fluids, solution thermodynamics,
and reaction equilibria. Emphasis is placed on the application of thermodynamics to practical
problems in phase equilibria and on solutions and reaction equilibria in separations and
reaction engineering.
Prerequisites.
CBE 2214A/B or MME 2204 A/B.

Recommended texts
• Themis Matsoukas, Fundamentals of Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics.
Prentice Hall, 2013
• Richard Elliott and Carl Lira. Introductory Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics.
Prentice Hall, 2012.
Units:
SI and other engineering units will be used.
General Learning Objectives:
At the end of this course students should be able to:
• Describe the behavior of non-ideal fluids over a wide range of temperature and pressure and,
apply thermodynamic concepts to phase equilibria of one-component systems.
• Use primary thermodynamic functions (P, V, T, U and S) and auxiliary functions (H, G and
A) to define conditions of equilibrium and stability and develop useful thermodynamic
relationships using the Maxwell relations (this is partly a revision as it is covered in CBE
2214)
• Apply thermodynamic principles to understand fugacity, partial molar properties, chemical
potential, and activity coefficients for non-ideal fluid systems.
• Investigate binary phase equilibria; construct and apply P-x-y and T-x-y phase diagrams
using activity coefficient correlations, and perform vapour-liquid equilibrium (VLE)
calculations.
• Apply thermodynamic principles to reaction equilibrium between phases and reactions.
O Calculate the equilibrium constant for chemical reactions.
O Derive and solve reaction equilibrium expressions for gas-phase, liquid-phase and multi-
phase reactions to determine how far a chemical reaction will proceed before equilibrium
is reached.
O Determine the equilibrium point for systems involving multiple reactions, calculation and
application of extent of reaction, and stoichiometric number.
Applicable CEAB Attributes.
This is the second thermodynamics course offered in Year 2. Students enrolled into this course
have already taken the first thermodynamics course that deals with properties of pure
substances, the first and second laws of thermodynamics, and thermodynamic cycles and
tables. CBE 2224 is primarily chemical thermodynamics and has three essential elements: (i)
Volumetric and Thermodynamic properties of fluids, (ii) Phase equilibria, (iii) Reaction
equilibria. The course is thus taught and evaluated at the intermediate level. Special emphasis
will be placed on the applications of thermodynamics to practical problems in chemical
engineering such as pressure-volume-temperature relationships, vapor-liquid equilibria, and
reaction equilibria in both separations and reaction engineering. The course relies on solid
understanding of thermodynamic principles and constraints for the treatment of chemical
operation units such as distillation, reaction, and storage facilities.

Evaluation
The final course mark will be determined as follows:
In-class participation 10%
Quizzes 10%
Midterm Examination 30%
Final Examination 50%
Assignments.
There will be no assignments in this course. In lieu of assignments, problem sets will be
provided to practice.
Examinations. The midterm will be a closed book two and half hour examination. The final
exam will also be a closed book examination and will take place in the regular examination
period.
The midterm examination is scheduled on Wednesday February 28, 2018 from 5pm to 8pm.
Programmable calculators are permitted during the examinations but memories must be erased
before the examination.
Note
Students must pass the final examination to pass this course. Students who fail the final
examination will be assigned the aggregate mark, or the final examination mark, whichever is
less.
Repeating All Components of the Course
In accordance with Senate and Faculty Policy, students who have failed an Engineering course
(i.e. <50%) must repeat all components of the course. No special permissions will be granted
enabling a student to retain laboratory, assignment or test marks from previous years.
Previously completed assignments and laboratories cannot be resubmitted for grading by the
student in subsequent years.
Use of English
In accordance with Senate and Faculty Policy, students may be penalized up to 10% of the
marks on all assignments, tests, and examinations for the improper use of English.
Additionally, poorly written work with the exception of the final examination may be returned
without grading. If resubmission of the work is permitted, it may be graded with marks
deducted for poor English and/or late submission.
Attendance
Attendance in all lectures, tutorials and labs is mandatory. Any student who, in the opinion of
the instructor, is absent too frequently from class or laboratory periods in any course, will be
reported to the Dean (after due warning has been given). On the recommendation of the
Department concerned, and with the permission of the Dean, the student will be debarred from
taking the regular examination in the course.
Cheating
University policy states that cheating is a scholastic offence. The commission of a scholastic
offence is attended by academic penalties, which might include expulsion from the program.
If you are caught cheating, there will be no second warning (see Scholastic Offence Policy in
the Western Academic Calendar).
Plagiarism
Students must write their essays and assignments in their own words. Whenever students take
an idea or a passage from another author, they must acknowledge their debt both by using
quotation marks where appropriate and by proper referencing such as footnotes or citations.
Plagiarism is a major academic offence (see Scholastic Offence Policy in the Western
Academic Calendar).
The University of Western Ontario has software for plagiarism checking. Students may be
required to submit their work in electronic form for plagiarism checking.
Conduct
Students are expected to arrive at lectures on time, and to conduct themselves during class in
a professional and respectful manner that is not disruptive to others. Sickness and Other
ProblemsStudents should immediately consult with the instructor or Department Chair if they
have any problems that could affect their performance in the course. Where appropriate, the
problems should be documented. The student should seek advice from the Instructor or
Department Chair regarding how best to deal with the problem. Failure to notify the Instructor
or Department Chair immediately (or as soon as possible thereafter) will have a negative effect
on any appeal.
Please contact the course instructor if you require material in an alternate format or if any other
arrangements can make this course more accessible to you. You may also wish to contact
Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) at 661-2111 x 82147 for any specific question
regarding an accommodation.
Notice
Students are responsible for regularly checking their Western email and notices posted on the
course web site.
Consultation
Students are encouraged to discuss problems with their teaching assistant and/or instructor in
tutorial sessions. Office hours will be arranged for the students to see the instructor and
teaching assistants. Other individual consultation can be arranged by appointment with the
appropriate instructor.
