CONTENT
OBJECTIVE
To introduce thermodynamics from a purely theoretical perspective, and to equip the student with the tools to tackle all sorts of problems related to equilibrium thermodynamics.
LEARNING OUTCOME
Describe the thermodynamics related parts of a given problem, and provide a solution to the problem using basic thermodynaics knowledge.
In particulari a fine grasp of the laws of thermodynamics and stability must be established.
