Struggling to solve your engineering problems? Relax! ME 103 (Thermodynamics) has a solution, and it’s our iTunes U course o’ the week!

That solution is energy analysis, in which you use the quintessential element of energy to help you solve your difficult problems — like how to create boilers that produce the most work. In this course, you’ll learn about the first and second laws of thermodynamics and tune into the visual examples that can help you along the way.

It may be true that, as the second law implies, “there’s no such thing as a free lunch.” But this course won’t set you back anything but a bit of your time.

If you prefer the PC version, then you can always find ME 103 here at Saylor.org. If you’d rather stay mobile, we’ve got 41 additional courses to enjoy on iOS, and all of those plus 241 more to explore at Saylor.org via your favorite browser.
