課程概述

In this course, advanced concepts of thermodynamics will be presented.
Starting with postulation approaches, the physical structure of thermodynamics
shall be elucidated in a fundamental manner. In contrast to conventional
engineering approaches that are generally focused on the application aspects,
we will discuss the logic deduction and mathematical framework that shape this
subject. In addition to the relevant examples, regarding the formulation and
description of fundamental equations, specific interest shall be directed to
advanced topics such as stability of thermodynamic systems, phase transition,
and critical phenomena. Furthermore, more insight will be gained as the
macroscopic elements are connected to the microscopic structure, through the
interpretation of entropy, in terms of the statistical mechanical treatment.
