Course description and aims

Thermodynamics started from early in the 19th century as an academic theory to pursue energy conversion between heat and work, and developed into an academic field exploring the roots of all natural phenomena. It is indispensable for the analysis of chemical reactions and elucidation of their mechanisms. This course explains the basic concept and analytical methods of thermodynamics from a macroscopic point of view.

Student learning outcomes

By completing this course, students will be able to:
1) understand the basic concept of thermodynamics
2) possess the basic knowledge necessary for understanding thermodynamics.

Keywords

thermodynamics, ideal gas, real gas, phase transformation

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

During the first 80 minutes of each class, the contents are presented using a projector. The remaining 10 minutes are allotted to a quiz regarding the lecture contents.
