Course Description
This is an advanced course of thermodynamics for graduate students in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. Students from other disciplines in science and engineering are also welcome to take. The course will start from review of the three laws of thermodynamics and then move to more insight of entropy and free energies. The calculation and application of Gibbs free energy in solid solutions and alloy systems will be emphasized, which will then be correlated with the construction of phase diagrams. The thermodynamics involved in surface energy, nanomaterials, and electrochemistry will be elaborated. Students will be asked to participate in classroom discussion. Teaching materials may come from the OCW or MOOCs on the web. The lecture will be given in English.
