Heat and Mass Transfer in Fire Protection

- to define the thermodynamic quantities and thermodynamic laws
- to describe the chemical equilibrium – to monitor the dependence of the equilibrium
constant on state variables (dependence on temperature, dependence on pressure) –
to utilize Le Chatelier’s principle (effect of initial composition, pressure and inert
component on the equilibrium composition)
- to describe the phase equilibrium - Gibbs phase rule, phase equilibria of pure
substances and liquid-vapour equilibrium in mixtures
- to define and apply basic principles of chemical kinetics - rate of chemical reaction,
kinetic equation, order of reaction, rate constant, the theory of reaction rates
- to describe basic steps of heterogeneous process - physical processes limiting
kinetics of heterogeneous processes, diffusion, the Fick's first and second law,
adsorption, adsorption isotherms
- to apply the chemical thermodynamics a kinetics on the processes of combustion,
explosion and extinguishing
