MATS1500 Materials Science and Engineering Course description

The course will introduce students to fluid mechanics and thereby give them a basic understanding of calculations needed to address flow problems. Theory will be translated into practical application. Students are expected to acquire basic theory on fluid mechanics and an understanding of how to use this theory in practice in technical contexts. The course forms a basis for understanding the operating principles behind various energy systems, the technical units involved and basic dimensioning of such units. Possible practical applications include dimensioning of components in pipe and cable systems (e.g. radiator systems), pressure loss calculations, emptying of vessels, calculation of forces generated by a water flow.

Emnet er 100% faglig overlapp med emnet ZMF1 Muntlig fortelling og DTV3100 Fortellerkunst og DTV3300 Muntlig fortellerkunst.

This course addresses the child welfare service’s intervention decisions concerning the relationship between children and parents. The students will receive an introduction to the country social welfare boards’ case processing, placement outside the home and compulsory measures. The main focus is on measures outside the home, such as foster homes and institutions, but orders imposing preventive measures in the home are also discussed. Children’s and parents’ participation in intervention decisions is a core topic, as are professional and ethical issues resulting from the child welfare service’s exercise of power. The course will provide an analytical approach to the complexity of decisions in child welfare work.  

The student must have completed and passed the first year of the Bachelor Programme in Child Welfare. 

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student can:

• apply the no-slip condition
• classify flows and describe laminar and turbulent flows
• calculate hydrostatic pressure in liquids and corresponding forces on surfaces and buoyancy
• explain different methods of pressure measurement
• visualize a flow field
• use the continuity equation (conservation of mass)
• use Bernoulli's equation, equation for conservation of mechanical energy
• calculate forces associated with flow systems
• analyze flow in pipes, channels, networks. Calculate energy and pressure losses
• measure flow rates and quantities (mass flow, volume flow)
• calculate resistance forces (tensile forces) by external flow (flow along surfaces and around bodies)
• calculate conditions associated with turbomachinery such as pumps and fans

Skills

The student can:

• perform necessary calculations for engineering analysis of fluid engineering problems in practical constructions, including piping systems in buildings and in the rest of nature
• calculate pressure drop through a pipe or duct system and then calculate the required pump or fan power
• calculate forces acting between a fluid at rest and a wall,;in order to dimension suspension
• calculate;forces acting;between a fluid;flow and the pipe wall, in order to dimension suspension
• calculate how long it takes to empty a tank
• dimension a simple network of pipes/ducts (e.g. radiator system)
• measure flow rates and volume and mass flow
• calculate flow resistance for solid bodies moving relative to a fluid
• choose the right size of pump in a pipe;system

General competence

The student can:

• contribute to the development of new technology based on an understanding of mathematical modeling and the solution of physical problems
