Description

Thermodynamics is the basic building block of all of modern dayindustries (power generation, iron and steel, food processing etc.) andhuman convenience (refrigeration, engines, air conditioning etc.).Understanding and applying various ideas of thermodynamics istherefore at the heart of progress in science and engineering. The courseaims at building strong fundamentals of work and heat interactions forvarious systems. Through various examples, the ideas of severalindustrial components and power/refrigeration cycles are furtherelucidated by addressing the problems from first principles. The ideas areextended to real systems where exergy or equivalently, the availability ofa state is analyzed to give a feel of real problems to the students.Uniqueness of this course is a delicate balance between fundamentalconcepts and applications, in a manner consistent with the recentlyproposed AICTE Model Curriculum guidelines.

INTENDED AUDIENCE

B.Tech students of all disciplines and teachers of undergraduate thermodynamics

Certification Process

1. Join the course
Learners may pay the applicable fees and enrol to a course on offer in the portal and get access to all of its contents including assignments. Validity of enrolment, which includes access to the videos and other learning material and attempting the assignments, will be mentioned on the course. Learner has to complete the assignments and get the minimum required marks to be eligible for the certification exam within this period.

COURSE ENROLMENT FEE: The Fee for Enrolment is Rs. 3000 + GST

2. Watch Videos+Submit Assignments
After enrolling, learners can watch lectures and learn and follow it up with attempting/answering the assignments given.

3. Get qualified to register for exams
A learner can earn a certificate in the self paced course only by appearing for the online remote proctored exam and to register for this, the learner should get minimum required marks in the assignments as given below:

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE
Assignment score = Score more than 50% in at least 9/12 assignments.
Exam score = 50% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100
Only the e-certificate will be made available. Hard copies will not be dispatched.”

4. Register for exams
The certification exam is conducted online with remote proctoring. Once a learner has become eligible to register for the certification exam, they can choose a slot convenient to them from what is available and pay the exam fee. Schedule of available slot dates/timings for these remote-proctored online examinations will be published and made available to the learners.

EXAM FEE: The remote proctoring exam is optional for a fee of Rs.1500 + GST. An additional fee of Rs.1500 will apply for a non-standard time slot.
