This course draws on student’s previous knowledge in Heat and Kinetic Theory and deals with the Physics of thermal phenomena macroscopically. This is done by considering the influence of hidden parameters (state functions) and establishing their relationship with a given system. The main topics treated include thermodynamic systems, thermodynamic functions, Maxwell’s relations, phase transitions and Heat Engines.
