MECH&AE C131G
Microscopic Energy Transport
Description: Lecture, four hours; outside study, eight hours. Requisite: course 105D. Exploration of basic principles of transportation of energy in natural and fabricated structures by three carriers: electrons, phonons, and molecules. Study of statistical properties of heat carriers, common Landauer framework for heat flow, scattering and propagation of heat carriers, derivation of classical laws from microscopic transport equations, and deviation from classical laws at small scale. Concurrently scheduled with course C231G. Letter grading.

Fall 2021 - If you think you are smart, this is the class to re-examine yourself as a student. The exams are only 1 pages but 2 hours is never enough, because open book exams are harder than the closed book ones. You might need a PhD in quantum mechanics before taking this class.
