Course Description
Explore the fundamental concepts of thermodynamics with the free online course Introduction to Thermodynamics. This course is part of the Basic Studies category, focusing on Physics. It is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of key thermodynamic principles and their practical applications.
The course begins with an overview that offers guidance on how to successfully navigate and utilize the online learning platform. It then delves into the foundational aspects of thermodynamics, introducing core concepts such as intensive and extensive properties, units, entropy, enthalpy, and internal energy. Understanding these concepts is crucial for grasping how energy interacts within physical systems.
Another essential topic covered is the state postulate and equilibrium, providing insights into how thermodynamic systems reach balance. Practical problems involving manometers and flow meter orifice setups are explored to illustrate real-world applications of these principles.
Phase change diagrams are also highlighted, offering insights into the behavior of substances as they transition between different states. The course additionally examines when it's appropriate to apply the ideal gas equation in contexts involving steam, giving students a well-rounded perspective on its limitations and usefulness.
The course is structured to facilitate learning at your own pace, making complex topics accessible through clear explanations and engaging examples. It's an excellent resource for anyone looking to build a strong foundation in thermodynamics or as a refresher for more seasoned learners.
