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

He has also been an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow, and avisiting Professor at th e Stanford University. He h as 380+ Journal publications.

 

Dr. Aditya Bandopadhyay is currently an Assistant Professor in theMechanical Engineering Department at Indian Institute of TechnologyKharagpur, India. His research interests include micro- and nanofluidics,transport through porous media, and electrohydrodynamics. Hecompleted his Dual Degree from IIT Kharagpur (Insitute Silver Medal) in2012 and received his Ph.D. from IIT Kharagpur in 2015. After this hewas a po stdoctoral researcher in CNRS Geosciences, Rennes, Franceworking on fundamental aspects of su bsurface transport. After this hewas an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the TU Dar mstadt, Germanyworking on electrohydrodynamic instabilities of binary fluid systems. Hewas selected an associate of the Indian Academy of Sciences in 2018.

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
