The objectives of thermodynamics are to improve the efficiency of a process for the transformation between energy and work, to study energy conversion in different forms and to study the entropy and enthalpy of a system. The bundled courses program begins with an overview of the fundamentals of thermodynamic concepts step-by-step with specific workout examples. A complete discussion is presented on different concepts as highlighted in the section below. Thermodynamics concerns energy, entropy, and the behaviour of almost all physical systems in one way or another. It treats in the first instance large systems in thermal equilibrium or moving slowly from one equilibrium state to another, and then more general methods are developed. The basic principles of thermodynamics are presented in this program. The bundled courses program covers concepts of pure substance, total energy, internal energy, entropy, enthalpy, specific heat, heat transfer, work, flash calculations, reversible and irreversible processes. The first law of thermodynamics for open and closed systems, the second law of thermodynamics, and entropy are applied in thermodynamic analyses directed toward understanding the performances of engineering systems. The second law of thermodynamics evaluates the direction in which real processes occur. The concept of entropy as a property is introduced and used to evaluate irreversibilities in real processes and to quantify the efficiency of devices. Power and refrigeration cycles are introduced and the first and second laws are used to perform engineering analysis of the cycles. The different cycles such as steam power cycles, gas power cycles, refrigeration, and air conditioning system are also covered in this program. This program is a foundation, resource guide and an excellent source for science and engineering students, early career professionals, and executives who want to learn concepts, design, and dimensions through enough practice of the theories and examples. The different modules are designed for individuals and students who need to understand the basics of thermodynamics where thermodynamic cycles are the main focus. Each bundled course contains a total of six lectures, and each lecture comprises 20 to 35 PowerPoint presentation slides and pdf documents. The courses are also designed with two quizzes, two assignments and one final exam in Module IV. Students are strongly advised to complete the “Fundamentals of Thermodynamics (Module I – IV)” course by Prof. M. Enamul Hossain at NSRIC Platform to understand this course content.
