Course Introduction

Advanced thermodynamics and heat transfer are crucial fields in mechanical engineering, especially for industries dealing with energy systems, HVAC, and power generation. A deep understanding of these areas allows engineers to optimize processes, improve system efficiency, and reduce environmental impact. Thermodynamics deals with energy transformations and the laws governing these changes, while heat transfer addresses the movement of heat and its management in various systems. Mastering these concepts is essential for designing more efficient engines, refrigeration systems, and renewable energy technologies. This course will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of advanced thermodynamics and heat transfer principles, applied to real-world engineering challenges.

This training program will explore key advanced topics such as entropy generation, exergy analysis, advanced cycles, and heat exchanger design. Participants will learn about the principles of thermal fluid systems and the latest techniques in heat transfer, including conduction, convection, and radiation. The course will also cover complex heat transfer scenarios, thermodynamic cycles used in power plants, and methods for improving system efficiency.
