A sample from this course
One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.
First law of thermodynamics
The First Law of Thermodynamics is the principle of conservation of energy applied to thermodynamic systems. It links the change in internal energy of a system to heat added and work done, forming the basis for energy balances in engineering processes. Mastery of this law is essential for solving energy balance problems, designing heat exchangers, and analysing power cycles in the Nigerian tertiary exams.
