Course content
The course "Physics of Gases and Liquids" deals with the thermodynamic and statistical theory of liquid and gaseous states of matter and experimental methods of researching equilibrium and non-equilibrium properties of gases and liquids. The goal of studying the discipline is to master modern experimental methods of studying the molecular structure and physical properties of gases and liquids; methods of thermodynamics, hydrodynamics, statistical physics, computer modeling, theoretical positions and basic applications of these methods in setting up and interpreting the results of experiments. The educational objective of the course is to expand theoretical knowledge and develop practical skills of students regarding experimental methods of determining the main physical characteristics of gases and liquids.
