Hey!!! ME209x Thermodynamics of IIT Bombay is a basic course in thermodynamics, designed for students of mechanical engineering.

The three laws of thermodynamics (zeroth, first, and second) will be explored in detail, and the properties of materials will be studied.


Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of high-school Physics and Chemistry is assumed; ability to do college calculus (differentiation, integration, partial derivatives, and exact differentials) is required.



The topics include:

-Basic concepts and definitions the work interaction

-The first law, energy and the heat interaction
