Course Objectives		This course is to teach thermodynamics aspects and its applications, which are fundamental steps for earth science
Course Description		Fundamental concepts- state, systems, the zero, first, second, and third law of thermodynamics and applications and roles of these concepts in geologic understanding; Heat, heat transfer ways, enthalpy, entropy, and free energy concepts, mineral stability and their usages in paragenetic mineral assemblages. Thermodynamics of solutions and important geochemical reactions Phase equilibrium, phase rule and phase diagrams. Partial pressure and oxygen fugacity. Geothermobarometer concept in geology. Eh-pH diagrams.
