一、課程說明(Course Description)
<br>This course includes three major parts: basic thermodynamics, solution thermodynamics and binary phase diagrams, and chemical reactions.  The first part teaches the three laws of thermodynamics, auxiliary functions, and free energy calculation.  The second part starts from gas behavior, one- component system, solution behavior, and finally binary phase diagram.  The third part teaches gas-gas reactions and gas-solid reactions.  Students will learn the physical meaning of the three laws of thermodynamics, the calculation of thermodynamic functions and the applications of thermodynamics in materials science.  This course aims to provide a basis for a variety of subsequent courses in Materials Science.
