Course Objective

Aims of this course is to give the thermodynamics which is a phenomenological theory of equilibrium states and transitions among them. It identifies the correct macroscopic variables to use, and serves as a guide post for statistical mechanics

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to search for and present solutions for an open problem that can be determined in this field.
2   To comprehend the kinetic theory of ideal gases.
3   To recognize the quantities of heat and heat capacity.
4   To have knowledge about the laws of thermodynamics.
5   To understand the subject of phase transitions, to apply to some of the common systems.
6   To recognize and apply thermodynamic potentials to problems.
