Course description and aims

This course addresses the essential thermodynamics for production and characterization of electronic materials. We learn the first and second law of thermodynamics with quantities of state of internal energy, enthalpy, entropy, and free energies. And, we study equilibrium and phase transition including chemical potential. We also refer to dielectric, metallic, magnetic bodies, and so on.

Student learning outcomes

Through the course, you are able to
- apply thermodynamic functions to understanding thermal characteristics of matter,
- examine chemical reaction and equilibrium based on the law of increase in entropy, and
- acquire mathematical techniques for deriving the relations among thermodynamic functions.

Keywords

the first law of thermodynamics, the second law of thermodynamics, the third law of thermodynamics, internal energy, enthalpy, entropy, free energy, thermodynamic potential, chemical potential, equilibrium

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills ✔ Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills
✔ ・Applied specialist skills on EEE

Class flow

Each lecture is delivered using an original handout. Do an exercise distributed after each class. The example solutions are given next class.

Course schedule/Required learning

  Course schedule Required learning
Class 1 Internal energy and quasi-static process Understanding the first law of thermodynamics and the quasi-static process.
Class 2 Enthalpy and Joule-Thomson effect Understanding enthalpy and Joule-Thomson effect.
Class 3 Entropy and irreversible process Understanding the second law of thermodynamics and the law of increase in entropy.
Class 4 Thermodynamic functions Understanding how to derive the relations among thermodynamic functions.
Class 5 Chemical potential and open system Understanding the open system with the chemical potential.
Class 6 Equilibrium and phase transition Understanding the equilibrium conditions and phase transition.
Class 7 Thermodynamics of various systems Applying thermodynamics to dielectric, metallic, magnetic bodies, etc.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.

Textbook(s)

None specified

Reference books, course materials, etc.

A handout and an assignment are given in each class by T2SCHOLA.

Assessment criteria and methods

You are assessed by the comprehension of basic laws of thermodynamics, quantities of state and conditions determining the direction of chemical reaction, and mathematical techniques connecting thermodynamic functions.
The point allocation is 50 % for the final exam and 50 % for assignments.
