Course description
This course is divided into two parts: Mechanics and Thermodynamics. The Mechanics portion focuses on the theory and application of engineering mechanics during static condition. The topics includes force vectors, equilibrium of particle and rigid body and force system resultant. The course further enhanced student knowledge in applying mathematical concept in engineering mechanics.
The Thermodynamics portion introduces energy transformations involving heat and mechanical work and their relation to the properties of matter. Topics include the first and second laws of thermodynamics, equations of state, and phase equilibrium. Students will explore practical applications such as car engines, refrigerators, and heat pumps, learning to describe and apply concepts of work, heat, temperature, and entropy to real-world systems.
Purpose of class
The purpose of this course is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles of mechanics and thermodynamics, and their applications in physics and engineering.
In the Mechanics part, students will learn the concept of statics especially the equilibrium of particle and rigid body, force system resultant and moment. The course develop student capacity to predict the effect of force while carrying out creative design functions' of engineering.
In the Thermodynamics part, students will gain insights into the behavior of energy and matter, and learn to apply the laws of thermodynamics to explain and predict physical and chemical processes involved in the real world examples.
