Objective
EUR-ACE, Knowledge and understanding: The students will understand the connection between the theoretical course contents and real-life situations. They will learn to make simplified assumptions, apply the appropriate physical principles and evaluate the final results.
Logistics, Natural sciences: In the laboratory they will see the importance of error analysis (mathematics) while making reports of experiments combining theory and practice.
Content
Pressure, pressure in a fluid, Archimedes principle, buoyancy, surface tension, capillarity. Fluid dynamics: the continuity equation, Bernoulli’s equation and viscosity. Temperature and thermal equilibrium, temperature scales, thermal expansion, the ideal gas equation, quantity of heat, specific heat capacity and phase changes.
