====== Materials Chemistry II ======

Materials Chemistry II is an undergraduate/graduate course on thermodynamics at RWTH Aachen University for students in the fields of studies:

  * Werkstoffingenieurwesen, B.Sc.
  * Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen (FR: Werkstoff- und Prozesstechnik), B.Sc.
  * Technik-Kommunikation, B.Sc.
  * Metallurgical Engineering, M.Sc. 

The course is offered during the winter term. Lectures are given by Prof. Schneider, Dr. Music and Prof. Zander (KKS). Students may participate in a midterm exam which allows them to collect bonus points for the final exam (2 in March/April, 1 in September). The course contains the following topics:

  * Second law of thermodynamics
  * Physical transformations of pure substances
  * Binary mixtures and their models
  * Phase stability and phase separation
  * Phase diagrams
  * Statistical thermodynamics
  * Boltzmann and Maxwell-Boltzmann distributions
  * Applications of kinetic theory
  * Chemical kinetics
