PHYS 321 Thermal and Statistical
Physics 3 0 7 PHYS 241
Course Objectives: Thermodynamics and statistical mechanics are the sciences of equilibrium.
Thermodynamics takes a macroscopic, bulk point of view, whereas
statistical mechanics establishes the principles of equilibrium at the
microscopic, molecular level. This course will integrate both perspectives to
discuss the general features and properties of equilibrium and simple models
of gases, liquids, and solids.
Course Description:
Covers statistical physics, developing both thermodynamics and statistical
mechanics simultaneously. Also covers concepts of temperature, laws of
thermodynamics, entropy, thermodynamic relations, and free energy.
Applications to phase equilibrium, multicomponent systems, chemical
reactions, and thermodynamic cycles. Application of statistical mechanics to
physical systems, and introduction to treatment of Maxwell-Boltzmann,
Bose-Einstein, and Fermi-Dirac statistics with applications. Elementary
transport theory.
