Thermodynamics
This online engineering PDH course discusses the fundamentals of thermodynamics which is the study of the relationship between heat and mechanical work; it is a branch of both physics and engineering science. This course analyzes the effects of changes in temperature, pressure and volume on physical systems at a macroscopic scale. It also explains how energy balances can be performed on facility systems and how efficiency can be calculated.
This 8 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical and chemical engineers, facility operators, maintenance personnel, and other technical staff who are interested in understanding the fundamentals of thermodynamics.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding thermodynamic properties
- Performing temperature and pressure measurements
