Course Overview

The Thermodynamics engineering course at edX is designed to teach basic concepts of thermodynamics to mechanical engineering students or learners who are curious about the topic. It will acquaint you with important ideas and terms related to thermodynamics along with their precise definitions. You will also study the properties of materials and derive several practical relations.

The edX Thermodynamics online course focuses on problem-solving as you will have to spend substantial effort on solving assignments. You will learn the three laws of thermodynamics – first, zeroth, and second law, thoroughly. You will explore topics such as work interaction and equations of state in detail.

Furthermore, you will learn energy transfer according to the classification of heat type and work type through the Thermodynamics program. The core concepts at the heart of thermodynamics, namely heat, entropy, and temperature are included in the course. Other topics covered include open thermodynamic systems, properties of liquids and gases, and relations between properties. It is a program developed by IIT Bombay and has a self-directed learning model.
