Lectures will address the following topics, and students will then solve problems related to these topics in order to deepen their understanding of them.
1. Temperature, thermal expansion and ideal gases
2. Heat and the first law of thermodynamics
3. Kinetic theory of gases
4. Heat engines, entropy and the second law of thermodynamics
Heat-related phenomena are not always intuitively obvious. Therefore, students will gain an abstract understanding of thermodynamics by examining examples that are as familiar as possible. In these classes, we will cover the contents listed below in the outline, with the goal of gaining an understanding of the basic concepts and an overview of the science of thermodynamics.
Evaluation is based on the results of the mid-term exam (rating rate 30%) and the final exam (rating rate 70%).
For the feedback of the mid-term exam, we will explain the problem after the mid-term exam.
In addition, latter part of the classes, sample problems are given and then through these practices, students can ensure the understanding of the thermodynamics.
The answer for this problems will be reported and will be used to check the attendance.

In the textbook, important points and questions and sample problems are listed at the end of each chapter, and through checking these points, practicing the sample problems, the understanding of the lectures will be promoted.
Even during the lecture, be sure to bring a scientific calculator, as it will be calculated as a simple practice.
