Sažetak
The application of thermodynamics in chemical engineering is exceptionally broad and, at a first glance, it can offer numerous possibilities of scientific research topics. On the other hand, fundamental relations are well-known, practical equations and models are incorporated into CAS software and it may be difficult to find a niche where a true advance can be achieved. In this lecture several examples related to chemical engineering thermodynamics are shown, that are dealt with either from the scientific or professional point of view at the Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Technology of the University of Zagreb. The investigations dealing with the equilibria and interactions in liquid systems will be described, in 1) organic systems comprising ionic liquids with potential applications in desulfurization and denitrification of hydrocarbon fuels, 2) aqueous two-phase systems with actual application in separation and purification of proteins and other biomolecules and 3) polymer solutions to be applied as additives for lubricating oils. Thermodynamics as an empirical, experimental science relies on measured data that are subsequently processed and linked into appropriate correlations, empirical or theoretical models, where the type of model used depends on the nature of investigated system. Chemical engineering thermodynamics provide an extensive collection of rules, procedures and models for the estimation of energy content of process streams depending of their pressure and temperature, their phase state, homogeneity or heterogeneity etc. and so on. Based on the energy content it is possible to assess the spontaneity of a physical or chemical process as well as the amount of energy released or spent by the process. Therefore, thermodynamics is in the core of energy balancing of any process. Here the professional experience will be exemplified, as collected by balancing the cupola furnace in the production of mineral wool.
