Course Overview

Thermodynamics today has emerged practically as one of the most important branches of physics as it deals with the conversion of energy into heat and is the solution to various engineering problems. It was originally introduced during the 19th century when the Industrial Revolution was at its peak, and today we can detect thermodynamics in engines, generating electricity, riding a bike, and even moving an aeroplane.

Not just these, Thermodynamics today is part of major industries like iron and steel, power generation, food processing, air conditioning, refrigerators. Swayam Concepts of Thermodynamics Certification Course is designed to make learners understand the concept of how heat and work interact for various systems.

It contains audio-visual themed material through which students can thoroughly understand the concepts of thermodynamics. This also comes with practice tests so students can keep track of their progress.
