Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Nov 27, 2006

Online study course in "Fundamentals of thermodynamics" can be undertaken by anyone interested in the basics of thermodynamics as there are no entry requirements.

The pioneering training and education provider for the HVAC and refrigeration industry, elearning-training, has launched a revolutionary online study course in "Fundamentals of thermodynamics".

This e-learning course first intended for air conditioning, refrigeration, heating and ventilation engineers can be undertaken by anyone interested in the basics of thermodynamics as there are no entry requirements.

The module covers the following areas: laws; heat, energy and temperature; specific heat and specific quantity; methods of heat transfer; measuring temperature; summary; and an interactive quiz and assessment.

Any student undertaken the thermodynamics fundamentals module will be able to: explain the first and second laws of thermodynamics; define the terms sensible heat, latent heat and superheat; define and calculate enthalpy; define specific heat and calculate the heat quantity of a substance required to bring about a specified temperature change; explain the heat transfer processes of conduction, convection and radiation and how they differ; and explain the units for measuring temperature and the concept of absolute temperature.

Successful students will get a company certificate/diploma in recognition of achievement.

A further course in the series covering air conditioning and a reference library are currently in production and will be available by early December 2006.
