PHYS 344 - Statistical Thermodynamics

Credit(s): 3
Lecture: 3
Non-Lecture: 0
An introduction , covering the connection between the physics of single particles and the bulk behavior of materials; the quantitative study of entropy, heat, temperature, the Carnot cycle, free energy, thermodynamic potential, phase equilibria, and the laws of thermodynamics. Thermodynamic systems, such as ideal gases and free electrons in metals, are considered. Offered every spring.

Prerequisite(s): PHYS 224, PHYS 228 and MATH 326.
