Enroll now →
About this course
This course offers a practical guide to mastering the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, which are critical for success in many engineering exams. Instead of getting bogged down in theory, it focuses on how to effectively tackle typical exam problems related to heat, work, and mass flow. You'll learn how to set up energy balances and analyze common scenarios, which can significantly improve your confidence under exam pressure.
What you'll learn
- Apply the First Law to mass and energy balance problems
- Correctly calculate heat and work in closed and open systems
- Analyze control volume problems involving mass flow and enthalpy
- Apply the Second Law to evaluate irreversibilities and performance limits
- Calculate and interpret the coefficient of performance (COP) in refrigeration problems
