Course content
Using more sophisticated equations of state for the determination of thermodynamics properties of real substances. Thermodynamics of systems in the gravitation, centrifugal, electrostatic and magnetic fields. Thermodynamics of low temperatures - basics of cryogenics. Theory of solutions - activity coefficients.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Work with text (with textbook, with book)
Learning outcomes
The course brings information about behavior of the substances in external force fields and about of estimation of properties of pure substances and their mixtures using the advanced equations of state and information about theory of activity coefficient.
The course enhances knowledge of Chemical Thermodynamics compared to course Advanced Physical Chemistry
Prerequisites
Knowledge on the level of the Advanced Physical Chemistry course

Assessment methods and criteria
Work-related product analysis

The exam is both written and oral. The primary form of the exam is a discussion of independently solved more complex problems. The extent of acquired knowledge, concepts, and application skills is assessed. During the semester, knowledge is tested through the solution of theoretical and numerical problems.
