Course description
This course provides an introduction to the Thermodynamics: the study of energy transformations involving heat, mechanical work, and how these transformations relate to the properties of matter.
The topics covered include basic concepts and definitions, the first law of thermodynamics and its applications, the second and third law of thermodynamics, equations of state, thermodynamic property relations, ideal gas mixtures, reacting mixtures, and chemical and phase equilibrium. The students will learn how to describe and apply the physical concepts of work, heat, temperature, and entropy, to describe thermodynamic systems and states and apply the laws of thermodynamics, to use experimental methods to investigate thermodynamic relations and present the results, to do calculations on phase transitions.
This course will be jointly taught by all the physics faculty members.
