      Learning outcomes, after the course the student can: 
      • understand the structure of a thermochemical solver (Gibbs energy minimiser),
      • handle equilibria in heterogeneous multi-component (non-ideal) systems
      • do equilibrium simulations in multicomponent heterogeneous systems

      Content 
      • Thermodynamics of solution phases and their analytical forms in condensed systems,
      • use and development of analytical descriptions for solution phases,
      • applications of Gibbs energy minimisation techniques for the chemical simulations.

      Assessment Methods and Criteria 
      • Lectures
      • Project work in groups from selected topics
      • Independent study and exam

      The lectures start Tue 10 January at 12.15-14.00 and will be held in Ke4.
