DAPE2101 Physics and Chemistry Course description

Emnet tar sikte på å gi studentene en innføring i numerisk simulering av varme- og strømningstekniske problemer som vi finner i industrielle og bygningstekniske prosesser, samt i naturen forøvrig. Vha. MATLAB og det kommersielle simuleringsprogrammet STAR CCM+ settes studentene i stand til å løse kompliserte 3-dimensjonale, transiente problemer knyttet til for eksempel varme- og ventilasjonsforhold i bygninger.

Praktiske anvendelser kan forøvrig være dimensjonering av komponenter i varme- og kjøleanlegg (for eksempel varmevekslere), beregning av bygningers varmebehov samt analyse av termisk komfort for personer.

Valgemnet igangsettes forutsatt at det er et tilstrekkelig antall studenter som velger emnet.

None.

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 is capable of:

• explaining Newton’s three laws of motion and how they determine the movement of objects
• explaining the concept of work as a line integral of power and energy conservation
• explaining the concepts of conservative and non-conservative force and placing them in the context of the first law of thermodynamics
• explaining the oscillation equation and its solutions for simple cases, and describing oscillations
• stating the wave equation and its analytical solutions for simple cases, and describing wave movement
• explaining Fourier’s law for heat conduction and its connection to the heat conduction equation and the second law of thermodynamics
• explaining basic electromagnetic units, concepts and phenomena
• solving the most common ordinary and partial differential equations that occur in physics, analytically and/or numerically, with the help of well-known algorithms
• explaining and solving important chemical equations in stoichiometry
• explaining basic principles and notions within chemical kinetics and chemical equilibrium
• explaining basic electrochemical principles

Skills

The student is capable of:

• calculating particle trajectories in physics, both analytically and numerically
• solving the oscillation equation for simple cases, analytically and numerically, and visualising the solutions
• solving the one-dimensional wave equation numerically, and visualising the solutions
• solving the one-dimensional temperature equation numerically, and visualising the solutions
• using mathematical and numerical methods to describe and analyse physical phenomena, including presenting quantitative solutions to problems in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermal physics, the physics of solids, and fluid dynamics
• explaining limitations in the calculations mentioned above
• carrying out simple chemical calculations in stoichiometry
• carrying out simple chemical calculations in electrochemistry such as calculations of cell potential, current, consumption and production of chemicals in electrolysis
• carrying out simple calculations of reactants and products present in gaseous equilibrium, precipitation reactions and acid-base equilibrium

General competence

The student:

• is capable of understanding and communicating physical and chemical principles and methods, issues and solutions, both orally and in writing
• is capable of communicating with other professionals with a natural science background on physical and chemical matters
• has insight into the importance of natural sciences for engineering developments

Følgende arbeidskrav må være godkjent for å kunne fremstille seg til eksamen:

• 6 dataøvinger
• 2 simuleringsprosjekt

Formålet med arbeidskravene er å stimulere til jevn innsats underveis i semesteret og hjelpe studentene til å nå kravene til ferdighet og kompetanse

Individuell skriftlig eksamen på 3 timer.

Eksamensresultatet kan påklages.

Ingen hjelpemidler tillatt.

I forbindelse med avsluttende vurdering benyttes en karakterskala fra A til E for bestått (A er høyeste karakter og E er laveste) og F for ikke bestått.

Emnet bygger på kunnskaper tilsvarende emnene EMTS2200 Strømningsteknikk og EMTS2300 Varmetransport.

One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.
