Course description |
The approach of this lecture to thermal physics differs from the traditional one. The leading concepts in the lecture are the entropy, the temperature, the Boltzmann factor, the chemical potential, the Gibbs factor, and the distribution function. Energy: various thermodynamic potentials are also defined, such as internal energy, Helmholtz free energy, Gibbs free energy Statistics: there are classical and quantum statistics. In the classical statistics (the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution), particles can be distinguished. On the other hand, in the quantum statistics (Fermi-Dirac distribution or Bose-Einstein distribution), particles cannot be distinguished. |
Expected Learning |
Understanding the relationship between thermodynamics, which deals with macroscopic systems and discusses without being aware of microscopic systems, and statistical mechanics, which constitutes macroscopic systems, and the idea of statistical mechanics. To be able to have multi-system energetic discussions based on. Also, be able to solve questions based on the content on your own at a certain level. |
