I am doing a project on E-cigs for my college engineering class

Of course, no pun intended, it all depends on the Course, the Instructor and the Textbook that is used.

But I think you can say the The Laws of Thermodynamics govern Heat Transfer.

Heat Transfers can involve some Nasty Calculus with a Bunch on Non-Linear Differentail Equations running around making Life Difficult. That is for sure.

Where as a 1st semester Thermo-D class tends to just hit the highlights and the Big Picture of each of the Four Laws of Thermo-D.

I took two semesters of Thermo but, neither one of them kicked my .... like that Heat Transfer class.

LOL

Yeah, some of those Application Based classes can be Much Harder than more of a Theory Class. (Although I remember taking a Linear Algebra class that kept me up late Many nights struggling with some esoteric proof.) But you got thru it and that's all that matters.
