Advanced Lectures on Fundamentals of Thermodynamics
By Professor John Ågren

If you have a background in thermodynamics and want a refresher course or you want to expand your understanding of the basis of CALPHAD, this video series may be right for you. Taught by renowned professor John Ågren, one of the original developers of Thermo-Calc, this 18-video series takes a deep dive into the fundamentals of thermodynamics and how they are applied to the CALPHAD method.

This level of knowledge is not required to use Thermo-Calc Software products. Rather it is an in-depth look at the theory the tools are based on.
