PHYS 313 Thermodynamics

Study of thermodynamics and elementary statistical mechanics. Systems containing very large numbers of particles are discussed, bridging the gap between the microscopic and macroscopic description of such systems. Heat, temperature, and pressure are covered and related to the motions and energies of individual atoms. Irreversible processes and their implications are also covered. Prerequisite: PHYS 310.
