    • Understanding pressure, volume and temperature

  • Course plan

    Chapter 1:Fundamental notion of thermodynamics

    Chapter 2: Thermodynaminc properties of a pure substance 

    Chapter 3: Fundamental concepts of thermodynamics

    Chapter 4: Physical process equilibria 


  • Chapter I : fundamental notions of thermodynamics

    Thermodynamics is a key branch of physics that studies the exchange of energy—particularly in the form of heat and work—between systems and their surroundings. This chapter introduces the basic concepts needed to understand thermal phenomena, such as thermodynamic systems, states, state variables (pressure, temperature, volume, internal energy), as well as the fundamental laws governing these exchanges. These notions are essential for analyzing the behavior of physical and chemical systems across various scientific and industrial fields.




  • Chapter II : Thermodynamic properties of a pure substance

    This chapter deals with the thermodynamic characteristics specific to pure substances, meaning materials composed of a single chemical component. It explores the relationships between state variables (pressure, temperature, volume) and describes the different phases (solid, liquid, gas) as well as phase transitions. Properties such as enthalpy, entropy, internal energy, and molar volume are studied to better understand the behavior of pure substances under various thermodynamic conditions.

  • Chapitre III : Fundamental concept of thermodynamics

    This chapter introduces the basic concepts necessary to understand how energy is transferred and transformed, including the definition of systems and surroundings, types of systems, thermodynamic equilibrium, and the fundamental properties such as pressure, volume, temperature, and internal energy. These concepts form the basis for analyzing energy interactions in both natural and engineered processes
