INTERMEDIATE THERMODYNAMICS

MS&E 330

Introduction to thermodynamics of materials, equilibrium constants, solutions, heterogeneous equilibria and electrochemistry.

CHEM 561

Macroscopic theory: laws and fundamental equations of thermodynamics, chemical equilibria, phase equilibria, and kinetic theory of gases.

ME 761

Thermostatic behavior of nonideal gases; equations of state, with emphasis on their empirical and statistical development, including mixture rules; more detailed study of chemical and phase equilibrium; selected applications of the foregoing; real gas processes, combustion, direct energy conversion devices. Knowledge of thermodynamics [such asM E 561] strongly encouraged.

ME 361

First and second laws of thermodynamics; thermodynamic properties of gases, vapors, and gas-vapor mixtures; energy-systems analysis including power cycles, refrigeration cycles and air-conditioning processes. Introduction to thermodynamics of reacting mixtures.

CHEM 661

Basic chemical thermodynamics with applications to chemical and phase equilibria and the study of solutions; introduction to statistical mechanics and calculation of thermodynamic quantities from molecular models; stability and fluctuations.
