Non-equilibrium Thermodinamics of Materials

The relations between diffusion flow, electric current and heat flow in metals and metal oxides in solid or liquid state are discussed from the view point of irreversible thermodynamics. Non-linear phenomena such as chemical reactions and viscous flow etc. are also discussed.

attendance, homeworks and examination

Several scientific papers and references books

You have homeworks for each lecture with dead line until next lecture. The grade of homeworks is A, B and C and less grade for later paper is given.

You have to go over through your lesson.
