The Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics Group is one of the RSC's many Interest Groups. The Interest Groups are member driven groups which exist to benefit RSC members, and the wider chemical ...

Thermodynamics concerns the foundation of all branches of physical sciences. Therefore, this is a required course for all mechanical engineering students. Also, the students of all other branches of ...

Elementary classical thermodynamics, applications of the first law and the second laws of thermodynamics to power and refrigeration cycles, mixtures and solutions, thermodynamic relations, chemical ...

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 ...

The second law of thermodynamics underpins all of classical reality. It is the reason why it's easier to make things messy, why you can’t have perpetual motion, why you age, and maybe even why time ...

Statistical physics and thermodynamics provide a framework for relating the behaviour of microscopic particles to the macroscopic properties of a system. Thermodynamics casts these macroscopic ...

THE application of the second law of thermodynamics to bodies interacting through gravitational forces has been the subject of much controversy and discussion (see, for example, Kurth's Mechanics ...

Stuart Rice, who specialized in physical chemistry during a long career as a professor and researcher at the University of Chicago, has died.
