The aim of the course is to provide an introduction to the principles of thermodynamics and molecular kinetic theory. Concepts such as work, heat, thermodynamics’ properties (temperature, volume, and pressure), the heat capacity, laws of thermodynamics, and thermodynamics’ functions are introduced. These concepts are illustrated by their application in various physical examples such as phase equilibrium and transitions, thermal engines, etc.Â
