Thermodynamics

Study how energy moves through mechanical systems and how work is produced, stored, transferred, and limited by physical laws.

Examine conduction, convection, and radiation as the primary ways thermal energy moves through materials, fluids, and environments.

Learn how thermodynamic cycles describe the operation of engines, turbines, compressors, refrigerators, and power systems.

Explore why no energy system is perfectly efficient and how entropy explains irreversible losses in real machines.
