PHYS426 - Thermal Physics
Course ID
026939
Course Description
A study of the energetics and the relations among bulk properties of macroscopic systems in terms of the energies available to the individual microscopic constituents. Classical and quantum statistics are applied to systems in thermal equilibrium to derive their bulk properties. Kinetic theory, transport phenomena, fluctuations and irreversible processes are examined.
