3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
This course is part of the subject "Applied Chemical Kinetics and Thermodynamics" The feasibility of a chemical process, from an energetic point of view, is given by Thermodynamics. For this reason, in all chemical-industrial processes, knowledge of thermodynamic aspects is required. In most cases, the rate of chemical processes has to be taken into account together with thermodynamic data. In this sense, this subject is closely linked to Applied Chemical Kinetics. Thermodynamics also provides information about the properties of solid, liquid or gaseous systems depending on the conditions of pressure, volume and temperature. It is a basic subject. Knowledge of Chemical Thermodynamics is of special interest in Heat Engineering and Chemical Reaction Engineering.
