Upon completion of this course, the learner will be
able to understand at a high level: Thermodynamic terms and definitions The composition and properties of natural gas and liquefied natural gas Conservation of mass Conservation of energy (first law of
thermodynamics) How to read a pressure enthalpy diagram How to mathematically solve thermodynamic
processes using a pressure enthalpy diagram How to solve typical processes such as: Constant
pressure heat gain process Constant
pressure heat loss process Constant
enthalpy pressure reduction Constant
entropy pressure reduction Compressor
efficiency applications Expander/turbine
efficiency applications Multi-flow
path heat exchanger applications
The focus of this learning will be on the application of
thermodynamics to understand liquefaction processes. A major part of this
learning will be the analysis of an open expansion natural gas liquefaction
plant process which applies all of the main concepts discussed in the course.
