Applied Thermodynamics for Engineers at IIT Guwahati (IITG)

The Applied Thermodynamics For Engineers online course is a 12 weekly program offered by Swayam, an initiative by the Education Ministry of the Government of India. Because thermodynamics is of basic relevance to mechanical engineers, it is always studied in the second or third semester. This course may be considered as the next phase, in which thermodynamic concepts will be used to explore various power generating and absorbing cycles.

The Applied Thermodynamics For Engineers training covers characteristics of pure substances, as well as the thermodynamic property relations, allowing candidates to estimate all-important thermodynamic properties at any given state point. The gas and vapour energy cycles will be examined next, followed by the concepts of cogeneration and combination cycles.

The Applied Thermodynamics For Engineers syllabus includes an introduction to refrigeration cycles, chapter begins with a discussion of refrigerant choices. Following that, the course will teach characteristics of gas gas-vapour and mixtures, which leads to psychrometric processes. The course will conclude with a quick overview of chemical equilibrium.
