Class Objectives
/Class Outline Thermodynamics forms the basis of science through the generality of its main concept and its practical applicability. This branch of physics has developed as macroscopic phenomenology, and has contributed to the creation of a concrete definition of temperature and clarified the efficiency limit of heat engines. Thermodynamics is the basis for understanding the equilibrium states of materials and their physical and chemical properties, along with non-equilibrium transitions. In this course of Thermodynamics I, the basic laws and ideas of thermodynamics are introduced.

Class Schedule Lesson 1: Introduction
Lesson 2: Thermal equilibrium, temperature, and state variables
Lesson 3: The first and second laws of thermodynamics
Lesson 4: Reversible process (1): specific reversible operation, ideal gas
Lesson 5: Reversible process (2): general reversible process, introduction of entropy
Lesson 6: Irreversible process: principle of increase of entropy
Lesson 7: The third law of thermodynamics
Lesson 8 (45 min): Summary

a short test at the end of each lesson, final examination
