Thermodynamics
The laws and principles of thermodynamics govern the field of Mechanical Engineering. Whenever an engineer wants to design a motor or system they must take into account laws of energy, motion and friction that will effect how the machine works. Learn more about this field, including the basic laws and rules, and how to apply these rules to the development of machines and technologies.
