Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Individual preparation for exam, Individual tutoring
Learning outcomes
The goal of this course is to acquaint students with the new approaches to the descriptions of thermophysical properties of fluids. Currently, there is a large amount of thermophysical data. The problem is their computer processing and evaluation. In this course, students will study the methodology of data processing, in the context of some specific descriptions of the properties of fluids, for example, with knowledge of the properties of supercooled water.

Prerequisites
knowledge corresponding to the scope covered by the courses Thermodynamics and statistical physics is required

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Student performance assessment, Interim evaluation
