Thermodynamic investigations to enhance materials performance for manufacturing and energy systems applications

热力学在促进各种材料和工艺的科学研究和工程设计方面发挥着不可或缺的作用，这些材料和工艺包括腐蚀、制造、能源系统等。该领域的进展旨在更好地了解材料行为，最终目标是提高性能和安全性，同时减少气候变化等负面环境影响。商业热力学软件通过使用传统模型促进了这一目标的实现，并通过一系列实验进行了验证。

Thermodynamics plays an integral role in facilitating scientific research and engineering design of a wide array of materials and processes, such as corrosion, manufacturing, energy systems and much more. Advances in the field are aimed at better understanding material behaviour with the ultimate goal of enhancing performance and safety, while reducing negative environmental effects such as climate change. Commercial thermodynamic software have facilitated this objective with the use of conventional models, which are validated by a series of experiments.
