Learning Outcomes
The students are introduced in the concepts of mechanical waves, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. More specifically, in the case of mechanical waves they will be familiarized with the propagation of transverse waves along an elastic string and longitudinal sound waves in fluids. They will deal with examples on the application of the superposition principle and the effect of the medium properties on the wave propagation velocity. The students will be also familiarized with the properties of fluids (pressure, density, buoyance) as well as with the fundamental principles that govern their behaviour and determine their practical applications. Except from the physical phenomena that dominate the behaviour of fluids under equilibrium conditions, the students will be introduced to the forces of cohesion and adhesion in fluid and with the laws which describe their flow.
Finally, the students are introduced to the meanings and the laws of thermodynamics through the study of the perfect gas laws and the thermal engines. They learn the equilibrium conditions and are introduced to the modeling of physical problems. They learn also elements of the kinetic theory of gases.
General Competences
- Apply knowledge in practice
