2 What’s in this module? zContents: yheat ythermodynamics ystatistical mechanics zInteractive teaching: yyou will be asked questions (shock horror) yyou should ask me questions (revenge!)

3 Multiple choice system zThroughout the lectures, your understanding of concepts will be cemented by multiple choice questions: zFirst find answer yourself (about 1 minute) zDiscuss with people around you (1–2 minutes)

4 Tutorials zTwo types: yShort questions mainly from Young & Freedman yLonger more general questions zTry to solve problems yourself as much as you can zAsk tutor/neighbour if you get stuck

5 Recommended text books zAny book that works for you zYoung & Freedman, University Physics zMansfield & O’Sullivan, Understanding Physics zGiancoli, Physics for Scientists Advanced texts zBaierlein, Thermal Physics zDugdale, Entropy and Its Physical Meaning

6 Course overview zThe atomic hypothesisThe atomic hypothesis zHeat and heat transferHeat and heat transfer zKinetic theoryKinetic theory zThe Boltzmann factorThe Boltzmann factor zThe First Law of ThermodynamicsThe First Law of Thermodynamics zSpecific HeatSpecific Heat zEntropyEntropy zHeat enginesHeat engines zPhase transitionsPhase transitions
