Supervisor:

Department of Nuclear Chemistry

Synopsis:

At the beginning of the course, a general description and explanation of laws affecting behaviour of the particle systems is provided. Subsequently, particle systems are described at molecular level. Follows the study on the matter in motion, based on its inner structure, properties of structural elements, mutual interactions and force fields. The course also contains some practical applications and fundamental calculations.

Requirements:

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Principles of molecular chaos.

2. Boltzmann distribution, partition functions.

3. Classical equipartition theorem.

4.Kinetic derivation of temperature.

5. Pressure of ideal gas.

6. Kinetic description of matter in the aggregate states.

7. Maxwell - Boltzmann distribution law and its consequencies.

8. Molecular collisions, intermediate free path of molecules.

9. Transport processes in gases.

10. Kinetic concept of real gas.

11. Ideal liquid, theoretical aspects of liquid state.

12. Flow properties of liquids, liquid crystals and gasses.

13. Particles movement in liquidsm, Einstein - Smoluchowski relation.

Syllabus of tutorials:

1. Formulating of partition functions

2. Calculations of ideal and real gas pressure

3. Calculating of molecular speed

4. Calculation of effusion
