Learning source for Thermodynamic

AI Thread Summary
Resources for learning thermodynamics include MIT OpenCourseWare and CalTech notes, which offer valuable lecture materials. Recommended textbooks are "Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach" by Y. Cengel and "Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics" by Shapiro. Users express a preference for comprehensive books over online notes for deeper understanding. The discussion highlights the complexity of topics like exergy and various thermodynamic cycles. Overall, a mix of quality textbooks and reputable online courses is suggested for effective learning in mechanical engineering thermodynamics.

Anyone have the learning source for Thermodynamic ?
Can share it here?
Thx =)

learning source like notes?? video lectures?? ebooks? & what level?

Check out MIT open course website.
 


Also, CalTech has some notes on Thermodynamics. Did you mean the Teaching Company lectures on Thermodynamics?

Actually my level just until second law of thermodynamics, recently is learning lots of cycles such as vapor,gas n refrigeration. and the exergy. >.< Exergy is very diffucult TT
Anyway, i willing to learn about it i don't mind which source,as long as it is related to mechanical engineering, hehe
 


I doubt any notes or webpage can create an understanding in the student's mind. A proper book is the best way to go about it. Search your library for books on Engineering Thermodynamics.

some good books-
Thermodynamics -An Engineering Approach - Y Cengel
Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics - Shapiro
 
I need to calculate the amount of water condensed from a DX cooling coil per hour given the size of the expansion coil (the total condensing surface area), the incoming air temperature, the amount of air flow from the fan, the BTU capacity of the compressor and the incoming air humidity. There are lots of condenser calculators around but they all need the air flow and incoming and outgoing humidity and then give a total volume of condensed water but I need more than that. The size of the...
I was watching a Khan Academy video on entropy called: Reconciling thermodynamic and state definitions of entropy. So in the video it says: Let's say I have a container. And in that container, I have gas particles and they're bouncing around like gas particles tend to do, creating some pressure on the container of a certain volume. And let's say I have n particles. Now, each of these particles could be in x different states. Now, if each of them can be in x different states, how many total...
Thread 'Why work is PdV and not (P+dP)dV in an isothermal process?'
Let's say we have a cylinder of volume V1 with a frictionless movable piston and some gas trapped inside with pressure P1 and temperature T1. On top of the piston lay some small pebbles that add weight and essentially create the pressure P1. Also the system is inside a reservoir of water that keeps its temperature constant at T1. The system is in equilibrium at V1, P1, T1. Now let's say i put another very small pebble on top of the piston (0,00001kg) and after some seconds the system...
