Criteria for phase equilibria; VLE calculations for binary and multi component systems; liquid-liquid equilibria and solid-solid equilibria.

UNIT IV

CHEMICAL REACTION EQUILIBRIA

Equilibrium criteria for homogeneous chemical reactions; evaluation of equilibrium constant; effect of temperature and pressure on equilibrium constant; calculation of equilibrium conversion and yields for single and multiple reactions.

UNIT V

THERMODYNAMIC DESCRIPTION OF MICROBIAL GROWTH AND PRODUCT FORMATION

Thermodynamics of microbial growth stoichiometry thermodynamics of maintenance, Calculation of the Operational Stoichiometry of a growth process at Different growth rates, Including Heat using the Herbert –Pirt Relation for Electron Donor, thermodynamics and stoichiometry of Product Formation

TOTAL: 60 PERIODS

COURSE OUTCOMES: At the end of this course, the student would have the ability
1. To explain the theoretical concepts of thermodynamics and how it applies to energy conversion in technological applications and biological systems.
2. To demonstrate the capability to analyze the energy conversion performance in avariety of modern applications in biological systems.
3. To design and carry out bioprocess engineering experiments, and analyze and interpret fundamental data to do the design and operation of bioprocesses.
4. To describe the criteria when two phases coexist in equilibrium and the vapour liquid equilibrium calculations microbial growth and product formation.
