Thermodynamics and Phase Equilibria

In this course, students will learn about thermodynamics and phase equilibrium. Thermodynamics and phase equilibrium are fundamental subjects in materials science and engineering. This course covers basic concepts of thermodynamics, the first, second, and third laws of thermodynamics, and equilibrium states of single and mixed phases.
