Thermodynamics
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH interactive presentation provides an overview of thermodynamics and introduces the properties of fluids and how they are affected by various processes. The presentation also explains how energy balances can be performed on facility systems or components and how efficiency can be calculated.

A basic understanding of the thermodynamics is necessary to safely operate and maintain the facility and support systems. The information is presented to provide a foundation for applying engineering concepts to the job. This knowledge will help personnel more fully understand the impact that their actions may have on the safe and reliable operation of facility components and systems.

This 3 PDH online interactive presentation is intended primarily for mechanical and chemical engineers, facility operators, maintenance personnel, and other professionals who are interested in learning more about the fundamentals of thermodynamics.
