Thermodynamics is the branch of engineering science that deals with energy, heat, work and the transformation of energy from one form to another. It provides the foundation for understanding engines, turbines, boilers, compressors, pumps, refrigeration systems, power plants and many other engineering systems.
This course provides a clear and practical introduction to the fundamental principles of thermodynamics. It is designed for students, technicians and beginners who want to build a strong understanding of thermodynamic systems and energy analysis.
The course begins by explaining basic thermodynamic concepts, terminology and properties. Students will learn how to identify systems, boundaries, surroundings, closed systems, open systems and isolated systems. The continuum assumption and common applications of thermodynamics will also be discussed.
The course then introduces thermodynamic states, equilibrium, processes and cycles. Students will understand how the condition of a system is described and how the system changes during a thermodynamic process.
A major section of the course focuses on energy and the First Law of Thermodynamics. Students will study internal energy, kinetic energy, potential energy, heat transfer, work transfer and mass-flow energy. Energy equations for closed and open systems will be developed and explained step by step.
Students will also learn how to carry out energy balances for turbines, compressors, pumps, nozzles, diffusers, heat exchangers, mixing chambers and throttling devices.
The final lectures include worked examples and numerical problems. These examples will help students develop confidence in selecting equations, stating assumptions, substituting values and interpreting answers.
By completing this course, students will gain the knowledge required to progress to more advanced thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, power plants, refrigeration and energy-system courses.
