课程简介

课程名称:非平衡统计热力学的应用 课程概述:本课程是统计热力学系列的第五部分,探讨了非平衡统计热力学的三个不同应用。 第一部分关注理想气体的传输行为,并简要讨论了密集气体和液体中的传输现象。课程从理想气体的传输性质的简单估算开始,接着引入了玻尔兹曼方程,描述了章门-恩斯科格解以获得传输特性,最后讨论了实际的传输性质来源。 第二部分讨论了光谱学方法,这种方法日益普及,成为确定系统热力学状态的一种手段。课程介绍了该主题的基本概念,并探讨了如何利用光谱学确定热力学和流动性质。 第三部分关注化学动力学,这在诸如燃烧、空气质量、燃料电池和材料加工等多种流体/热力学应用中都至关重要。这里讲解了化学动力学的基础,特别关注燃烧过程。课程开始时会给出一些定义,包括反应速率和反应速率常数。接着探讨了确定反应速率常数的方法,然后研究反应系统或反应机制,包括氢气和烃燃料的氧化。最后,课程还探讨了用于进行动力学计算的计算工具。 课程大纲: 1. 理想气体的传输性质 - 传输行为的探索,理想气体的传输性质估算,玻尔兹曼方程及章门-恩斯科格解的介绍,以及实际传输性质的来源讨论。 2. 光谱学方法 - 介绍光谱学的基本概念,并探讨如何利用光谱技术来确定热力学和流动特性。 3. 化学动力学与燃烧 - 化学动力学基础、反应速率和反应速率常数的定义、反应速率常数的确定方法、反应机制的探讨(包括氢气和烃燃料的氧化),以及动力学计算的计算工具。 这一课程为学习者提供了非平衡统计热力学在实际应用中的重要洞见与工具。

课程大纲

Name:Transport Properties of Ideal Gases

Description:Module 1 explores the transport behavior of ideal gases, with some discussion of transport in dense gases and liquids. It starts with simple estimates of the transport properties of an ideas gas. It then introduces the Boltzmann Equation and describes the Chapman-Enskog solution of that equation in order to obtain the transport properties. It closes with a discussion of practical sources of transport properties.

Name:Spectroscopic Methods

Description:Spectroscopic methods have become increasingly common as a way of determining the thermodynamic state of a system. Here we present the underlying concepts of the subject and explores how spectroscopy can be used to determine thermodynamic and flow properties.

Name:Chemical Kinetics and Combustion

Description:Chemical kinetics are important in a variety of fluid/thermal applications including combustion, air quality, fuel cells and material processing. Here we cover the basics of chemical kinetics, with a particular focus on combustion. It starts with some definitions, including reaction rate and reaction rate constant. It then explores methods for determining reaction rate constants. Next, systems of reactions, or reaction mechanisms, are explored, including the oxidation of hydrogen and hydrocarbon fuels. Finally, computational tools for carrying out kinetic calculations are explored.
