Thermodynamics and Liquefaction Systems Part 1 (5 credit hours)
This course introduces the learner to the origins of natural gas and the production of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). LNG is widely used around the world. It is a very compact form of natural gas in liquid form. It is used on very cold days to supplement gas coming from the interstate pipelines to supply gas load centers like New York, Boston, and other major load areas. Natural gas (essentially the same as vaporized LNG) is the cleanest burning fossil fuel as it contains the least amount of carbon per unit of energy of all the fossil fuels. Thus, many electric power plants now use natural gas or convert from dirtier fossil fuels to natural gas or vaporized LNG. 

This course also includes a step-by-step analysis of an open expansion natural gas liquefaction system to illustrate how LNG is produced.  The computations will be performed through the use of pressure enthalpy charts for methane.  
Steven Vitale, PE, PhD
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.
