MET 320 Metallurgical Thermodynamics

Credits: (4-0) 4

The principles of chemical thermodynamics and their application to metallurgical engineering processes. Topics covered include the zero, first and second laws of thermodynamics, the fundamental equations of state for open and closed systems, criterion of equilibrium, heat capacities, reaction equilibrium constants and their dependence upon temperature and pressure, chemical potential, standard and reference states, stability diagrams, and solution thermodynamics.

Prerequisites: CHEM 112, MATH 125, and (PHYS 211/211L or PHYS 207)
