TP General Thermodynamics

This cycle of experiments is designed to deepen the understanding of some of the concepts covered in the General Thermodynamics and Solid State Thermodynamics courses.
The aim of this practical work is to prepare students for the use of different measurement techniques in physical chemistry and thermodynamics, explain their principles, enable them to exploit the results obtained and compare them with data from the literature.

General Thermodynamics course
