Overview
A theoretical subject
given in the fourth semester and the number of its unit is 4 units The course
is one of the compulsory specialization courses for students in the physics
program and the course aims to introduce the student
On the basics of
thermodynamics and its applications in physical processes and derive the
equation of state for different systems and become able to distinguish the laws
of thermodynamics and their different applications and the concept of
stochasticism (entropy), as well as identify some of the thermodynamic
potentials
Intended learning outcomes
By passing this course, the student will be able
to identify the basic concepts of thermodynamics, including the processes that
occur between the system and its surroundings, describe the properties of
thermal systems, including pure matter, describe the zero law of
thermodynamics, the ideal gas law, the kinetic theory of gases, the
mathematical relations of the state function, explain the first law of
thermodynamics, its differential formula and its relationship to the heat
capacity of gases, and explain the concept of the second law of thermodynamics
and its applicationsThe student should enumerate the differences between
inverse processes and isothermal operations and the work done for these
processes, and the interpretation of the concept of entropy and its calculation
for a variety of operations, and be able to apply thermodynamics in physics and
technology and to solve problems based on scientific foundations arranged by
the laws of thermodynamics, either he gains skills that enable him to study
other specialized courses
Teaching and learning methods
Lectures,
the use of the blackboard, explanation, clarification, linking the material to
reality, applying theoretical concepts in various physical problems, asking
questions to students, and forming discussion groups during lectures to discuss
solving problems that require reflection and analysis
Methods of assessments
The
first midterm exam in the sixth week by 15%, the oral exam and participation
during the lecture by 5%, the second midterm exam in the tenth week by 15%,
homework since the beginning of the semester by 5%, and the final exam at the
end of the semester by 60%.
