MSTC 431. Thermal Physics of Advanced Materials. 4 Credits.
This course is the first one in a two-course sequence that teaches and applies a foundational understanding of thermodynamics, kinetics, and transport to understand how materials are formed and what governs the time evolution of materials processes. This course focuses on the thermodynamic properties of materials, i.e. how concepts of energy minimization determine the equilibrium phases and properties.
Requisites: Prereq: MATH 256; MATH 281; MSTC 232; one from PHYS 352, CH 411.
