Course Description:
The course will cover advanced classical and statistical thermodynamics. In particular, fluid phase equilibria, phase stability, use of equation of state to determine fluid properties for pure components and mixtures, intermolecular forces, fugacities in gas and liquid mixtures, solubilities, high pressure phase equilibria, ensembles, partition functions, and configuration integral.

Academic Integrity:
McGill values academic integrity, which is fundamental to achieving our mission of the advancement of learning. The website www.mcgill.ca/integrity is a resource for faculty and students and is intended to promote academic integrity at McGill by providing information about the meaning of integrity, about how to foster it, and about the consequences of breaching it.
Rules of Conduct:
The instructor and the teaching assistants are committed to the Faculty Blueprint and to academic integrity. The same is expected from every student taking this course. Please read and understand the Blueprint and academic integrity www.mcgill.ca/engineering/faculty/ethics. The instructor expects a dynamic and participating classroom. Students who disturb the instructor and other classmates (ex. Talking) will be asked to leave the room. The same policy will apply to students working on assignments from another course during the lectures.
