Thermodynamic basics course,
in this course we will learn about the fundamentals of thermodynamics. Starting with an introduction to the core principles, we will explore the laws of thermodynamics and their significance. The course will cover thermodynamic systems and processes, energy and work, and the concepts of heat and temperature. We will delve into the First Law of Thermodynamics, which focuses on the conservation of energy, and the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which introduces the concept of entropy. Participants will learn about thermodynamic cycles, properties of pure substances, and equations of state. Additionally, the course will address methods of heat transfer, such as conduction, convection, and radiation. Understanding the Carnot cycle and efficiency will be emphasized, along with the principles of thermodynamic equilibrium. We will also explore phase transitions, thermodynamic potentials, and the basics of statistical thermodynamics. By the end of this course, participants will have a solid foundation in thermodynamic principles, enabling them to apply these concepts to various scientific and engineering problems.
