Synopsis:

Lectures familiarize students with thermophysical properties of matter (both solids and fluids) that are important for optimal engineering design and are aimed to prepare students to use this knowledge in engineering practice. General methods tailored for acquiring of reliable data. Fundamentals of applied thermodynamics: intermolecular forces, theory of corresponding states, critical state properties, using equations of state, thermodynamic functions and developing property relations. Transport properties : viscosity, thermal conductivity, diffusion coefficient and other fluid properties. Simulation methods - Monte Carlo, Molecular Dynamic methods and their applications are described. Commonly used database systems of thermophysical properties are discussed. Computer network resources of reliable thermophysical data are demonstrated.
