本课程是化工专业最重要的必修课程之一，是化工过程研究、开发和设计的理论基础。本课程是在学生学过物理化学，完成化工厂生产实习，并具备化工过程和设备的知识基础上讲授。化工热力学是化工专业最重要的必修课程之一，通过本课程的学习，学生可以掌握纯流体热力学性质（P、V、T、H、S）意义及计算方法；掌握热力学第一、二定律原理在化工过程能量计算和过程热力学分析中的应用；熟悉各种溶液热力学性质定义、物理意义、计算方法及其相互关系；掌握平衡条件、平衡判据及汽液平衡数据和化学平衡数据计算方法。将科学历史、科研方法和课程思政融合，让学生潜移默化中不仅提高知识学习效果，而且在个人素质、职业道德和社会责任等方面得到训练和提高。
Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics is one of the most important compulsory courses for students majoring in chemical engineering. Through this course, students can learn the meaning and calculation methods of pure fluid thermodynamic properties (P, V, T, H, S); grasp the first and second law of thermodynamics and use them in the chemical process; familiar with the various thermodynamic properties of solution including their definition, physical meaning, calculation methods and their relationship; grasp equilibrium conditions, balance criterion, vapor-liquid equilibrium data and chemical equilibrium data calculation. The integration of the science history, research methods and ideological and political education allows students to not only improve their knowledge learning, but also subconsciously train and promote their personal quality, professional ethics and social responsibility.
