Browse Programs Admission InformationThermodynamics and fluid mechanics are two interrelated fields in physics and engineering, focusing respectively on the study of energy and fluid behavior. Together, they form the theoretical foundation for analyzing systems involving heat transfer and fluid dynamics. Thermodynamics deals with the exchange and transformation of energy, emphasizing key concepts such as work, internal energy, and entropy, all governed by the four fundamental laws. Fluid mechanics, on the other hand, examines the behavior of liquids and gases under the influence of forces, using mathematical models that describe pressure, flow, and viscosity. These two fields converge in many practical applications such as the design of engines, turbines, refrigeration systems, and heat exchangers.
