Flashcards
Thermodynamics
Thermodynamics
The science of heat and its relation to other forms of energy, such as mechanical work. It's key to understanding how HVAC systems move and transform heat.
Fluid Mechanics
Fluid Mechanics
The study of fluids in motion, including liquids and gases. It helps us understand how air moves through HVAC systems.
Heat Transfer
Heat Transfer
The process of transferring heat from one place to another. It's essential for understanding how HVAC systems distribute heat and cool air.
