Application Areas of Applied Thermodynamics

• Physical Properties: Retrieval & estimation of chemical and physical properties of pure components & mixtures.
• Phase Behavior & Equilibrium: Study & visualization of phase behavior & equilibrium assessment.
• Substance Selection & Product Design: Identification of substances meeting specific requirements (a.k.a. ‘molecular design’).
• Applied Thermodynamics: Fundamental understanding of driving forces and limitations in processes.
• Energy Analysis: Energy (in)efficiency analysis for process comparison and process optimization studies (e.g., through exergy analysis or pinch studies).
