MSE 3050 - Thermodynamics and Phase Equilibria of Materials

Effective Date 02/01/2023
The course includes (1) an overview of classical thermodynamics necessary for understanding the conditions for phase equilibria, phase stability and phase transformations in one-component and multi-component systems, (2) application of thermodynamic concepts to phase diagrams and construction of phase diagrams from thermodynamic data, (3) discussion of the thermodynamics of interfaces and the role the interfaces play in phase transformations. Prerequisite: APMA 2120 or MATH 2310.

Requisites Students must have completed APMA 2120 or MATH 2310 or MATH 2315.
