Thermodynamics Practical Work module serves as the experimental bridge between theoretical energy laws and real-world physical measurements, focusing on the quantification of heat and work through three main pillars: calorimetry to determine specific and latent heats, the study of gas laws ($PV=nRT$) to observe isothermal and adiabatic behaviors, and the analysis of thermal cycles and phase transitions. By utilizing specialized equipment such as calorimeters, manometers, and thermal probes, students transition from solving abstract equations to managing complex variables like the water equivalent of a container or the Laplace coefficient ($\gamma$), while developing critical skills in data acquisition and error analysis to account for heat loss in non-ideal systems. Ultimately, this module transforms the laws of thermodynamics from mathematical formulas into a practical understanding of energy efficiency and fluid dynamics essential for engineering applications.
