Thermodynamic Properties of Real Gases and Their Implications

This exam focuses on the thermodynamic properties of real gases, discussing deviations from ideal behavior. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the factors influencing these properties, such as pressure, temperature, and intermolecular forces.

Real gases exhibit behaviors significantly different from ideal gases under various conditions. Insights into these deviations are crucial for practical applications in research and industry, particularly in optimizing processes in chemical engineering.

The exam will assess the ability to articulate the general principles of real gas behavior, the models that describe these behaviors, and the implications on phase equilibria and energy efficiency in chemical processes.

Interview questions will incorporate specific scenarios that necessitate an understanding of the thermodynamic behavior of real gases, challenging candidates to illustrate their knowledge effectively.
