Upon completing the course, students learn the following skills. They are able to
- understand and explain basic concepts and calculation methods in thermodynamics (k1/k2);
- formulate and interpret theoretical concepts of thermodynamics in a precise and analytical way (k3);
- transfer the theoretical concepts of thermodynamics to other examples of simple physical systems (k3/k4).

During the course, students acquire knowledge in the following areas and concepts of thermodynamics:
- simple thermodynamic systems;
- relevant macroscopic variables and state variables, state and equilibrium, equations of state;
- temperature, heat and work;
- simple microscopic models from classical and quantum mechanics;
- laws of thermodynamics;
- cyclic processes, heat engines, heat capacities, Carnot cycle;
- classical and statistical derivation of entropy;
- reversible and irreversible processes;
- fundamental relations;
- thermodynamic potentials;
- theoretical equilibrium conditions, thermodynamic stability, simple phase equilibria.
