Credits
3 op
Objectives
After completing this course student knows the fundamental laws of fluid mechanics and thermophysics, can describe phenomenona by using quantities and their dependences and make justified solutions of related problems, can calculate pressure, force and buoyancy in a fluid, can analyze fluid flow and effects of fluid resistance, knows the main laws of thermophysics and can predict the natural behaviour of a thermal system, can determine the state of a system in a basic thermophysical change, and can apply heat transfer in practical situations.
Content
Properties of static fluid, pressure and buoyancy, Laminar and turbulent flow, continuity equation, Bernoulli´s equation, Fluid resistance and viscosity, Temperature, heat and fundamental thermodynamic laws, Thermal expansion, Ideal gas equation, Heat capacities, Phase changes, Heat and humidity transfer, Heat pumps.
Prerequisites
Before taking this course, student should have completed Mechanics or similar course.
Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2)
Knowledge of the most essential phenomena and related quantities and units in fluid mechanics and thermophysics. Capability to analyse qualitatively and quantitatively simple cases related phenomena similar to discussed examples
Assessment criteria, good (3-4)
In addition capability to apply the principles to new situations. Fluent usage of the terminology and models in presentations of justified qualitative and quantitative analyses of phenomena
Assessment criteria, excellent (5)
In addition versatile ability to analyse phenomena qualitatively and quantitaively realizing the limitations related to theories in use.
