Course Overview
The Thermodynamics programme offers the candidate in-depth knowledge of thermodynamics and the first and second laws of thermodynamics in detail. The course will deal with the topics like state and concepts and definitions with the system, boundary, and steady-state. The course covers topics like conservation of mass for open and closed systems and thermodynamics of engineered equipment.
The programme also offers the candidate a proper understanding of psychrometry and its applications and the conditioning of humidification, cooling towers, evaporative cooling, air, and applications air conditioning, etc. The Thermodynamics training course also deals with the equivalence ratio and stoichiometry.
The Thermodynamics online course instructor is a well-experienced faculty member of IIT Delhi professor S. R. Kale to guide the candidate. The course is free of cost and candidates will be provided with an E-certificate after qualifying the certification criteria. The candidate can access the course at their time requirements. It is an online course by Swayam. The certificate will be having the logos of IIT Madras and NPTEL.
