Unit 1: Three phase model
General concepts introduced in this section:
- Ideas of open and closed energy systems introduced
- Introduction to the idea of energy conservation
- An introduction to energy-interaction diagrams (energy bubbles)
Specific concepts introduced in this section
- Ebond
- Changes only when bonds are created or destroyed. Mainly this is during phase changes, but also occurs during chemical reactions.
- Ethermal
- Within a phase that temperature is the indicator for Ethermal. When changing phases, the issue is more subtle and the course notes at present are not interally consistent!
- Heat capacity
- Tells you how much energy you have to add for
