THRM 318 - Thermodynamics

Description
THRM 318 consists of both Theory and Lab components. The Theory portion includes a study of bonding, equilibria and kinetics for ideal and real systems. Topics covered include heterogeneous redox reactions as they apply both to corrosion control and to various analytical techniques; equilibrium calculations with acids, bases and buffers; phase equilibria of ideal and real two component systems, and a macroscopic study of liquids, crystals, surfaces, and colloidal suspensions; The course ends with a kinetic and thermodynamic study of nuclear chemistry. The lab portion of the course covers corrosion control and monitoring, and electro-analytical techniques.
