CPE 651 Computational Thermodynamics (3)
Study of thermodynamic properties as they relate to kinetics and transport mechanism of the material growth process. Integration of the principles of thermodynamics with computer software applications. Simulation of equilibria and transformations in materials for developing an understanding of phase stability, phase composition, and defects. Exploration of phase diagrams of single and multicomponent systems along with models to describe the thermodynamic properties of various phases.
Prerequisite(s): CPE 412/512 and graduate standing or instructor approval.
