Thermodynamics describe how energy, mass, energy conversion and degradation occurs through physical and chemical processes. Thermodynamics principles and laws govern the efficiency of any process and conversion.

 

 

 

Most engineering calculations and design depend on accurate thermodynamic consideration of the processes involved. This seminar is designed to present and explain all thermodynamic principles in engineering, aiding engineers to optimize their efficiency.
