Aims
This module introduces students to the fundamental laws and applications of the physical sciences within engineering and how to apply this knowledge to find solutions to a variety of engineering problems. Among the topics included in this module are: international system of modules, interpreting data, static and dynamic forces, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, material properties and failure, and A.C./D.C. circuit theories.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Dimensions and SI units
Static and dynamic forces: calculation of reaction forces and accelerations.
Newton’s laws of motion: conservation of linear and angular momentum, conservation of energy
Fluid mechanics: hydrostatics, incompressible flow
Thermodynamics: laws, heat transfer, sensible and latent heat
Materials: Simplified atomic structure of metals, simple polymers, etc., properties of materials, materials testing
Electricity: d.c. circuit theory, circuit theorems and their applications, single phase steady state sinusoidal a.c. passive circuits
Magnetism: magnetic fields and fluxes, induction
