Basic Thermodynamics (NPTEL)

About this course

A full NPTEL course on engineering thermodynamics, from fundamental concepts and the laws of thermodynamics to power cycles and reacting systems. Who it's for: mechanical and chemical engineering students and GATE aspirants. These are the free, official videos of the "Mechanical - Basic Thermodynamics" playlist (NPTEL) from the nptelhrd YouTube channel (youtube.com/@iit). All videos belong to NPTEL; Sikhami is not affiliated with NPTEL and simply arranges the public playlist into a course, so you can learn one lesson at a time and keep track of your progress.

What you will learn

• Fundamental concepts, energy and the first law • The second law, its corollaries and entropy • Available energy • Properties of pure substances and the Joule-Kelvin expansion • Vapour power cycles and gas power cycles • Thermodynamics of reacting and multi-component systems
