V. Learning objectives.

Teaching objectives

To provide a basic knowledge of classical thermodynamics with a view to its application to combustion and thermal machines. To standardize learners' knowledge. The skills to be acquired are: Acquisition of a scientific basis in classical thermodynamics   Application of thermodynamics to various systems; State, explain and understand the fundamental principles of thermodynamics. Chemical kinetics is the field of chemistry that studies the rate of chemical reactions i.e. the evolution of reactant and product quantities over time. Determining the expression of the factors on which the rate depends makes it possible to for industrial reasons, for example.

Part I: Thermodynamics

Thermodynamics in general: system, state of a system, variable and state function. variable and state function. Notion of equilibrium and transformation of a system. Notion of temperature.

Different forms of energy. Perfect gas equation.

First principle of thermodynamics: internal energy, work, heat. Statement of the first principle. Differential expression of the first principle. Application: transformation of a perfect gas (isochoric, isothermal, isobaric, adiabatic). Chemical systems; heat of reaction. binding energy.Application of the first principle of thermodynamics to thermochemistry

Second principle of thermodynamics: Natural evolution. Notions of entropy and Statement of the third principle.

Chemical equilibrium: free enthalpy. Chemical equilibria. Law of mass action, equilibrium constant. Equilibrium factors

Thermal machine

Part 2: Chemical kinetics

Reaction speeds.
