Statistical Thermodynamics Specialization
This online engineering specialization is ideal for individuals working in advanced fields such as combustion, high-temperature gas dynamics, environmental sciences, or materials processing. You may also be interested in this specialization if you are looking to understand advanced experimental diagnostic techniques in these or similar fields.
By completing this specialization, you will be able to:
- Understand how the microscopic properties of atoms and molecules relate to classical thermodynamic properties and to some non-equilibrium phenomena
- Analyze and estimate how thermodynamic materials behave and obtain appropriate equilibrium and non-equilibrium properties
- Apply some computational skills to statistical thermodynamics
Courses
- Fundamentals of Macroscopic and Microscopic Thermodynamics
- Quantum Mechanics
- Ideal Gases
- Dense Gases, Liquids, and Solids
- Non-Equilibrium Applications of Statistical Thermodynamics
