Fundamentals Handbook : Thermodynamics

This module explains the properties of fluids and how those properties are affected by various processes. The module also explains how energy balances can be performed on facility systems or components and how efficiency can be calculated.This is module 1 of 3. Module 2 is about Heat Transfer and module 3 is about Fluid Flow.
