This specialization was developed for advanced undergraduate students in mechanical engineering or aerospace engineering, who already have a strong background in engineering thermodynamics at the undergraduate level, and are ready to delve into the fundamental principles of the subject.
It is intended for people who work in advanced fields such as:
Or anyone interested in building a foundation for understanding advanced experimental techniques in these or similar fields.
The course covers the relationships between macroscopic and microscopic thermodynamics and derives the properties of gases, liquids, and solids. It also deals with non-equilibrium behavior as it appears in kinematic theory and chemical kinetics.
The key innovation is the use of a postulate approach to presenting basic concepts and the clear connection between macroscopic and microscopic thermodynamics. By presenting basic ideas through postulates, students are given a clear way to think about important concepts, including:
Assessment for the five courses in this specialization will be through short, automatically graded problem sets, which will test mastery of the content presented in the videos.
Students will also be asked to submit problems without a clear solution method for peer review and to solve other problems in discussion forums.
Please note that many problems require data that is included in my textbook, but can also be found online or in the course resources.
