Thermodynamics and transport phenomena are foundational concepts in chemical engineering that govern the behavior of systems in processes involving energy, mass, and momentum transfer. Thermodynamics studies energy transformations, focusing on principles like energy conservation, entropy, and equilibrium. In catalytic processes, understanding thermodynamics is crucial for determining reaction feasibility, calculating energy requirements, and optimizing conditions. For example, Gibbs free energy predicts whether a chemical reaction will proceed spontaneously. Transport phenomena, which study how momentum, heat, and mass move through fluids, play a key role in designing reactors and separation units. Heat and mass transfer models help predict how energy and materials move, influencing reaction rates and catalytic performance. In catalytic reactors, the rate of mass transfer to the catalyst surface and temperature distribution can impact efficiency. By applying thermodynamics and transport principles, engineers can optimize conditions, improve energy efficiency, and reduce costs. Understanding these phenomena is also essential for addressing challenges like catalyst deactivation, heat management, and optimizing yields in industrial processes like refining and polymerization.
