Objectives

To give main basic information for using thermodynamic principles and data to estimate formation of different compounds in certain environments, to control phase structure and from this point of view to understand different properties of materials and to plan material properties. To present main methods used in thermodynamic evaluations and thermodynamic working tools and to give students ability to use existing thermodynamic data effectively.
