Fundamental Principles, and Laws

Thermodynamics is a foundational subject in engineering that governs energy interactions in everything from engines and refrigerators to power plants and even the human body. A clear understanding of thermodynamics is essential for designing and analyzing efficient systems in virtually every branch of engineering.

This course is designed to help engineering students and professionals master the fundamental concepts of thermodynamics with clarity and confidence. It focuses on building a strong conceptual base and developing the ability to systematically apply thermodynamic principles and laws to real-world engineering problems.

Taught using the classical thermodynamics approach, the course emphasizes logical reasoning, clear explanations, and structured problem-solving techniques. Special attention is given to the concept of "entropy"—often considered abstract or challenging—which is introduced in an innovative and intuitive way to ensure deep understanding.

The course is organized into short, focused video lectures, typically around 10 to 15 minutes each, to maintain interest and aid in retention. Almost every video session is followed by a Quiz that contains carefully framed conceptual questions to reinforce learning and build strong fundamental concepts.

The course is ideal for undergraduate students in any engineering discipline. However, anyone who wants to brush up his/her knowledge of Thermodynamics can register for the course. This course bridges the gap between theory and application, equipping learners with the tools necessary for academic success and professional growth in energy-related fields.
