Thermodynamics
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.
This continuing education interactive presentation is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the basic thermodynamic properties
- Understanding temperature and pressure scales and measurements
- Learning about the different forms of energy, work and heat
- Knowing the types of thermodynamic systems and processes
- Understanding the change of phase as well as property diagrams and steam tables
- Learning about the first and second law of thermodynamics
- Gaining an overview of compression processes and the effects of pressure and temperature changes on fluid properties
