MSTC 432. Kinetics and Transport in Advanced Materials. 4 Credits.
This course is the second of 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. Begins with concepts of thermodynamically reversible and irreversible process and how those relate to entropy and entropy production. Transport by diffusion, rates of chemical reactions, and materials processes nucleation and growth and morphological evolution in solids are covered. Sequence with MSTC 431.
Requisites: Prereq: MSTC 431.
