About Course

In this online course, you will learn about the laws of thermodynamics and their applications in mechanical and heating systems. The course begins by introducing you to the basic concepts of thermodynamics, including the states and properties of various systems. You will then learn about the properties of pure substances, including thermodynamic equilibrium and phase changes.

Next, the course teaches you about the concepts of heat and work, including illustrated examples, analysis and discussion. Also included in this instructor-led, video-based course: how the concept of thermal equilibrium evolved into the Zeroth law; how the first law of thermodynamics is derived for closed systems; the key concepts in the second law of thermodynamics; Carnot’s theorem; reversible heat engines; entropy changes in reversible and irreversible processes and more.

This course will be of interest to students of mechanical engineering or those studying heating, cooling and airflow systems. It will also be of interest to those working in the industry and those looking to improve their knowledge and skills in this area.
