MOLEKULARNA FIZIKA I TERMODINAMIKA

After successful completion of the course students should be able to: understand basic concept of heat transfer and interpret different heat transfer mechanisms (conduction, convection, radiation); explain “behavior“ of molecules and relevant distributions, demonstrate knowledge of the ideal gas model, derive the van der Waals equation and apply it to a real gas; use thermodynamic terminology correctly, derive and discuss the first and second laws of thermodynamics, analyze basic thermodynamic cycles, distinguish between thermodynamic potentials, understand the concept of thermodynamic equilibrium; develop a simple physical model applicable to solving a given problem from the molecular-kinetic theory and thermodynamics; describe in general phenomena at the boundary of different phases, phase transitions and phase diagram.
