Learning outcomes
When observing any system, a number of its properties can be determined. We call these properties physicochemical quantities. The subject enables their study, taking into account the quantities temperature, pressure, volume, composition of the system, enthalpy, entropy, thermodynamic function, dynamic viscosity, crystal structure, etc. All these properties and their study are very important for materials research.
