Molecular physics and thermodynamic

Description: This course deeply analyzes macroscopic processes in various states of matter and is key to understanding physical phenomena in nature and their engineering applications. It covers the following main sections: basic principles of molecular kinetic theory, ideal gas, statistical distributions, transport phenomena, real gases and liquids, solids and thermodynamics.

Goal

• Creating the foundations of theoretical training in the field of molecular physics and thermodynamics, which allows future bachelors to navigate the flow of scientific and technical information and provides them with the opportunity to use new physical principles in the areas of technology in which they specialize.

Objective

• - formation of the method and knowledge of the mathematical and physical description of the state of systems containing multiparticles; - mastering the laws and principles of molecular physics and thermodynamics; - formation of modern physical and scientific views of students.

Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding

• - to study the basic concepts, states and laws of this course; - to be able to identify issues, tasks and research tasks of specific physical conditions; - to be able to correctly understand and translate information for optimal decision-making; - it is necessary to find the right physical solution related to the physical phenomena of the profession solution that arises in practice and practical problems.

Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding

• The study of the discipline provides a basis for further study of such disciplines as "Diffusion processes in solids" , "Thermodynamics, statistical physics and physical kinetics".

Learning outcome: formation of judgments

• The field of application of thermodynamics is much wider than the molecular-kinetic theory, because there are no areas of physics and chemistry in which it would be impossible to use the thermodynamic method. However, on the other hand, the thermodynamic method is somewhat limited: thermodynamics says nothing about the microscopic structure of matter, about the mechanism of phenomena, but only establishes connections between the macroscopic properties of matter. Molecular kinetic theory and thermodynamics complement each other, forming a single whole, but differing in different research methods.

Learning outcome: communicative abilities

• Formation of physical ideas about the laws of molecular physics and the application of this knowledge in various fields of science and technology.

Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities

• Molecular kinetic theory and thermodynamics complement each other and form a single whole, but differ in different research methods, focusing on the same features.

Teaching methods

When conducting training sessions, the following educational technologies are provided: - interactive lecture (using the following active forms of learning: guided discussion or conversation; moderation; demonstration of slides or educational films; brainstorming; motivational speech); - building scenarios for various situations based on the specified conditions; - information and communication technology (for example, classes in a computer class using professional software packages); - search and research (independent research activity of students in the learning process); - the solution of educational tasks.

Assessment of the student's knowledge

Teacher oversees various tasks related to ongoing assessment and determines students' current performance twice during each academic period. Ratings 1 and 2 are formulated based on the outcomes of this ongoing assessment. The student's learning achievements are assessed using a 100-point scale, and the final grades P1 and P2 are calculated as the average of their ongoing performance evaluations. The teacher evaluates the student's work throughout the academic period in alignment with the assignment submission schedule for the discipline. The assessment system may incorporate a mix of written and oral, group and individual formats.

The evaluating policy of learning outcomes by work type

Evaluation form

The student's final grade in the course is calculated on a 100 point grading scale, it includes:

• 40% of the examination result;
• 60% of current control result.

The final grade is calculated by the formula:

 

Where Midterm 1, Midterm 2are digital equivalents of the grades of Midterm 1 and 2;

E is a digital equivalent of the exam grade.

Final alphabetical grade and its equivalent in points:

The letter grading system for students' academic achievements, corresponding to the numerical equivalent on a four-point scale:
