After taking this course, students are able to estimate the magnitude of several thermodynamic properties of hydrocarbons and their phase conditions, either by manual calculations or using software. Lectures are conducted through face-to-face meetings, class discussions, and problem solving both individually and in groups. Topics to be discussed in this course include basic concepts of thermodynamics, P-v-T data correlation, thermodynamic properties, Vapor-Liquid Behavior, and Water-Hydrocarbon systems. The language used can be Indonesian or English.
