Lectures related to Approach to Thermodynamic Equilibrium: Open Systems

Explores phase transitions and stability criteria in thermodynamics, emphasizing entropy, internal energy, and thermodynamic potentials.

Provides an overview of vapor-liquid phase diagrams and their role in separation processes, focusing on phase equilibria and the Gibbs phase rule.

Explores thermodynamic transformations of ideal gases, heat capacity, entropy, and adiabatic processes.

Introduces the fundamental concepts of thermodynamics, including energy conservation, system definitions, and different forms of work.

Explores the rules for approaching equilibrium in closed systems and the minimization of thermodynamic potentials.
