A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Fundamental thermodynamic concepts

The core of fundamental thermodynamic concepts lies in understanding what a thermodynamic system is, how it interacts with its surroundings, and the classifications of those interactions (isolated, adiabatic, reversible, irreversible). Mastering these ideas is essential because they form the basis for formulating the first and second laws of thermodynamics, which are repeatedly tested in Nigerian tertiary exams.
