PET 509E - Hydrocarbon Thermodynamics
Course Objectives
1. To introduce basic concepts of thermodynamics;
2. To introduce phase behavior of pure and mixtures of hydrocarbons;
3. To demonstrate how to write energy and mass balances for open and closed systems;
4. To show how to predict thermodynamic properties using equation of state and correlations;
5. To explain chemical potential, fugacity, and fugacity coefficient;
6. To introduce processes used in petroleum and natural gas reservoir modeling.
