Hi guys and girls... In this post, i have provided you the syllabus for Engineering Thermodynamics subject. The syllabus that i have posted for this particular subject is only for Reg 2004 and this should be followed only by Mechanical engineering students. Make use of this syllabus and also refer this site to your friends, so that others can also able to get benefit from this site. In my upcoming posts, I will try to post syllabus for other subjects and other branches too... So stay in touch.
