Thermodynamic modeling and phase equilibria are crucial aspects of metallurgical processes, particularly in understanding how different materials interact under varying conditions. This field of ...

For over a century, the Maxwell’s Demon paradox has haunted physics. This thought experiment suggests that a tiny, ...

A fundamental rule that determines the fate of the universe The second law of thermodynamics means hot things always cool unless you do something to stop them. It expresses a fundamental and ...

Classical and statistical thermodynamics; entropy and energy functions in liquid and solid solutions and their applications to phase equilibria. Lectures, problem solving. A student who has completed ...

These types of transitions are known as first-order phase transitions and happen with minimal energy loss. "By constructing a minimal model incorporating this feature, we could demonstrate how it ...

thermodynamic integration methods and their applications to equilibrium solids and grain boundary kinetics, phase transitions in systems of particles with soft repulsive interactions, mean-field ...

The course deals with the thermodynamic and kinetic basis of phase equilibria and phase transformations in materials science. In particular computational modeling by means of the CALPHAD method is ...

The challenges are clear: Can we return to an analog of a more ‘ecological’ phase from which we evolved and be satisfied ... are often addressed with the tools of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. It is ...
