Title: Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics
Description: This course is a 1st year undergraduate course on Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics for Materials Scientists, but equally useful to Physicists & Chemists. The approach is molecular and fundamental. The expansion of an ideal gas is initially considered, with configurational entropy and Einstein solids. The 4 laws of thermodynamics are presented, the Boltzmann distribution is derived, and state functions (Gibbs Free Energy, Enthalpy, etc.) presented. Finally, the statistical mechanics of systems is discussed with molecular and canonical partition functions to finally derive an expression for the internal energy. This course was delivered by Prof. D.J. Riley at Imperial College London in the Department of Materials.
