課程概述 |
In this course, advanced
concepts of thermodynamics
will be discussed. 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 emphasized on the
application aspects, the
macroscopic element is well
connected to the microscopic
mechanism, through the
interpretation of entropy,
in terms of the statistical
mechanical treatment.
Furthermore, some newly
developed topics such as
critical phenomena and phase
transition shall be explored
in proper phases of
proceeding. |
