This course, based on MATSCI 204 Thermodynamics and Phase Equilibria, introduces learners to thermodynamics and how it governs phase equilibria. It is intended for a general audience and is especially useful as a preparatory course for undergraduate and graduate students who are about to take their first class in thermodynamics.
About this course
The course reviews concepts including the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics; entropy; equilibrium for isolated systems; materials properties; and continues to review phase equilibria.
What you’ll learn
- What thermodynamic functions govern heterogeneous equilibria and how to calculate these functions from measurable materials properties.
- Unary phase equilibria and first-order phase transitions, metastability.
- Thermodynamics of solutions and its application to binary phase equilibria and binary phase diagrams.
- Thermodynamics of chemical reactions.
