Number of Credits 2 Course Type Lecture
Target Year Mainly 1st & 2nd year students Target Student For science students
Language English Day/Period Mon.3
Instructor name ARIVAZHAGAN RAJENDRAN (Institute of Advanced Energy Senior Lecturer)
Outline and Purpose of the Course We learn about the thermodynamics in the state-change of matter, also in the chemical reactions. Contents of the lecture covers the following fields of change of state, thermodynamic laws, definition of the quantities (enthalpy, entropy, free energy, chemical potential), chemical equilibrium, and reaction kinetics. Aim of this course is the understanding of these concepts.
Course Goals The aim of this class is to understand the basic principles of thermodynamics.
Schedule and Contents 1. Change of the system and quantity of state
2. Thermal energy and work
3. 1st law of thermodynamics: Change of internal energy and enthalpy
4. Chemical reaction and thermal energy
5. Interpretation of internal energy in molecular level
6. Change of state of the ideal gas
7. 2nd law of thermodynamics: Entropy
8. Entropy change in the change of state
9. 3rd law of thermodynamics: Conversion from heat to work
10. Gibbs energy
11. Change of the Gibbs energy when temperature and pressure change
12. Chemical potential
13. Change of state and chemical potential change of matter
14. Chemical equilibrium and rate of chemical reaction
15. Assignment which is considered as a term examination
16. Feedback
Evaluation Methods and Policy Results will be evaluated by the submission of homework written in English (30%), attendance and discipline (20%), and assignment which is considered as a term examination (50%).
Course Requirements None
Study outside of Class (preparation and review) I recommend that the students should review the points to be learned.
