《材料热力学》课程教学大纲的基本要求

1、Aim and significance of the course课程任务和目的

In response to the growing economic and technological importance of polymers, ceramics, advanced metals, composites, and electronic materials, many departments concerned with materials are changing and expanding their curricula. The advent of new courses calls for the development of new textbooks that teach the principles of materials science and engineering as they apply to all classes of materials.

The Series in Materials Science and Engineering is designed to fill the needs of this changing curriculum.

Based on the curriculum of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Nanchang University, the series will include textbooks for the undergraduate core sequence of course on Thermodynamics, Physical chemistry, Chemical physics, Structures, Mechanics, and Transport Phenomena as they apply to the study of materials. More advanced texts based on this core will cover the principles and technologies of different material classes, such as ceramics, metals, polymers, and electronic materials.

The series will define the modern curriculum in materials science and engineering as the discipline changes with the demands of the future.

This curriculum is deal with: treatment of the laws of thermodynamics and their applications to equilibrium, and the properties of materials. Provides a foundation to treat general phenomena in materials science and engineering, including chemical reactions, magnetism, polarizability, and elasticity. Develops relations pertaining to multiphase equilibria as determined by a treatment of solution thermodynamics. Develops graphical constructions that are essential for the interpretation of phase diagrams. Treatment includes electrochemical equilibria and surface thermodynamics. Introduces aspects of statistical thermodynamics as they relate to macroscopic equilibrium phenomena
