Course Objectives | The main objective of this course is to introduce the fundamental concepts of classical mechanics and thermodynamics. The course begins with an introduction of space and time, straightline kinematics, motion in a plane, forces and static equilibrium and the experimental basis of Newton's laws. Introduces and applies the concepts of particle dynamics, universal gravitation, collisions and conservation laws, work and potential energy, vibrational motion, conservative forces, inertial forces and noninertial frames, central force motions, rigid bodies and rotational dynamics. At the last stage of the course, some applications of thermodynamics, kinetic theory and the ideal gas will be addressed. These topics include, but not limited to, temperature, ideal gases, van der Waals equation of state, blackbody radiation, heat flow and the first law of thermodynamics, MaxwellBoltzmann distribution, the concept of random walk and diffusion. The course will conclude with an introduction to Carnot engine, entropy and the second law of thermodynamics. Consequently, all engineering students will be able to model advanced dynamic systems such as electric machinery, grasp the essential physics for understanding the foundations of materials science, and easily comprehend the principles of operation of the solidstate and semiconductor electronic devices in their future studies. |
