About the course

The industrial revolution may have been fired by coal, but it was powered by steam. Humans have been harnessing the power of steam for thousands of years, but it is only in the past 200 years that we have started to rely on it for countless engineering applications. This course looks at the origins of steam, its theory (thermodynamics), generation, and applications.

You will learn:
Why we use steam instead of other energy fluids.
The history of steam in engineering.
Heat fundamentals (thermodynamics, latent heat, sensible heat etc.).
Heat transfer (conduction, convection and radiation etc.).
Combustion theory (efficiency, heat values etc.).
Steam properties (wet, dry, saturated, enthalpy etc.).
Boilers (designs, advantages, disadvantages etc.).

And a lot more!

Irrespective of your engineering background, learning about steam will greatly benefit your engineering career. Steam systems are used at almost every industrial facility, so you can apply 100% of what you have learned to the real world.
