PHYS 4360 - Thermodynamics

UG
Credit Hours: 3

This course is required for physics and engineering physics majors, but serves as an advanced elective for students with electrical engineering focus. The first of two parts, this course will concentrate on fundamental principles of classical thermodynamics. It will cover such topics as three laws of classical thermodynamics, thermodynamic potentials, thermodynamic equilibrium and phase transitions, transport, and kinetic phenomena. Different applications of these principles towards engineering, engines, and various electric, magnetic, and chemical processes will be considered.
