On completion of this module students should be able:
1. to provide a molecular-level interpretation of key thermodynamic variables such as internal energy (U), Entropy (S) and Gibbs Free Energy (G)
2. to solve chemical engineering problems amenable to analysis by chemical thermodynamics, in particular those relating to first and second law principles (U, S, G)
3. to synthesise and solve rate-law expressions for both homogenous and non-homogenous chemical reacting and equilibrium systems
4. to analyse heat cycles in terms of achievable efficiencies and propose techniques to maximise heat-cycle efficiency
