    Thermodynamics in Materials
    Science & Engineering
    Origin of the term:
    Thermodynamics --- Study of how transfer of heat
    influences matter.
    Now:
    Thermodynamics --- Encompasses all of the
    influences and interrelationships that affect the

    Levels of Thermodynamics
    Phenomenological --- Focuses on the
    phenomena that matter can experience as
    exposed by experimental observation.
    Statistical --- Explains & predicts the
    properties of matter from their structure.
    Quantum Mechanics --- Explains why the
    structure of matter is as it is observed.
