Research Topics in Statistical Mechanics

cytochrome · Nov 24, 2014

It seems like two main applications of statistical mechanics in academia research include the application to solid mechanics/materials and the application to heat transfer. How do statistical mechanics and thermodynamics differ in these two aspects? Is it basically the same theory applied to different phenomena?

Thanks for anyone who knows about this.
