Aim:
The course should give a fundamental knowledge in the theory of thermodynamics and also give an explanation on thermodynamic base of physical and technical processes. To achieve those goals the student should have the following knowledge and capacities:
- Ideal and real gases.
- Thermochemistry and the energetics of chemical reactions.
- Entropy and the second law of thermodynamics, and also be able to explain spontaneous processes, and the impacts on them from the conditions applied.
- Give thermodynamic descriptions of phase equilibria in systems of one or more components and their practical applications.
- Chemical equilibria, the impacts on them from outer conditions, and some practical examples.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
The student must have attended General chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and also Mathematics with basic algebra and differential and integral calculus.
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
