Course Objective

The course aims to give thermodynamic properties and equations of solutions, to investigate the behavior of the solutions and the reactions under different conditions, to get knowledge about relationship between the phase equilibrium diagrams and free energy curves of solutions, to calculate some properties using measurable properties and to utilize the thermodynamic properties of solutions on the design of metallurgical processes.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1	Explain the thermodynamic properties of solutions and their components
2	Determine the thermodynamic properties of components in a binary system by using the partial molar properties of the solution
3	Calculate the thermodynamic properties of ideal solutions in binary systems
4	Calculate the thermodynamic properties of non-ideal and regular solutions in binary systems
5	Evaluate the relationship between the free energy - composition curves and binary phase stability diagrams
6	Evaluate the thermodynamic data obtained by the experimental determination methods
7	Investigate interactions of the components in a dilute multi-component solution
