Contact: Dr Haixue Yan
cover the thermodynamics and kinetics underlying phase transformations for all three states, gas, liquid and solid. There will be an emphasis on the understanding and the use of phase diagrams to predict suitable
conditions for phase transformations and explain the evolution of metastable non-equilibrium phases, which are of great importance in many engineering applications. You will gain practical skills in the investigation of phase transformations with differential scanning calorimetry and the application of phase transformations for the purification of substances.
