GEST2005 Energy Foundation I: Heat and Motion (3 units)
- Prerequisite:
- PHYS1005 Introduction to Green Energy or consent of the instructor
- Medium of Instruction:
- English
This course covers classical mechanics and thermodynamics that will establish foundation for elaborating and developing energy science and technologies. The concepts and theory of Newtonian mechanics will be introduced followed by applications to rigid body motions, wave propagation, and fluid dynamics. After presenting the laws of thermodynamics, energy flow and energy conversion mechanisms in various thermodynamic processes will be examined.
