PHYS 313 Thermodynamics
An introduction to thermodynamics
using the tools of statistical mechanics. Topic include ideal gases; van der
Waal gases; paramagnets; Einstein solids; work, energy, and heat; entropy; the
laws of thermodynamics; and classical and quantum distributions. Applications
include heat engines, phase transitions, blackbody radiation, and properties of
solids. ENGR 332 can be counted toward a physics degree when paired with PHYS 259: Independent Study: Thermodynamics for one credit.
