Education level First cycle Grade scale G U 3 4 5 Subject Physics Subject group (SCB) Physics Entry requirementsIn order to meet the general entry requirements for first cycle studies you must have successfully completed upper secondary education and documented skills in English language and Documented skills in English language. Additionally you should have knowledge corresponding the course Mechanics and experimental methods (F0060T) and Differential Equations and Transform Theory (M0052M) or equivalent More information about English language requirements SelectionThe selection is based on 1-165 credits.Course Aim After a successfully completed course, the student should: 1. Knowledge and understanding Thermodynamics: define, explain and use fundamental concepts and relationships in classical thermodynamics: with focus on the first and second law of thermodynamics describe some of the important technological applications in relation to sustainable energy development explain the physical principles of heat transfer (for conduction, radiation and convection) Electricity: explain the origin and the effect of electrostatic and magnetostatic fields, including their interaction describe electrical components and explain their function in circuits explain the principles of alternating (AC) and direct (DC) current 2. Competence and skills Thermodynamics: apply the laws of thermodynamics for calculations on liquids and ideal gases in closed and open systems calculate the efficiency of thermodynamic cycles with applications on steam machines and heat pumps apply the physical principles of heat transfer (for conduction, radiation and convection) to calculate heat transport in various applications Electricity analyze and measure circuits with resistors, capacitances and inductances analyze DC circuits, voltage drop and power calculations analyze simple AC circuits 3. Judgement and approach have the ability to estimate the plausibility of the obtained result describe in a general way, some applications for the phenomena discussed during the course Be able to argue from a scientific point of view and be able to discuss technological applications Contents Thermodynamics Classical thermodynamics, state equations and properties of the ideal gas and real substances The first and second law of thermodynamics State changes and ideal thermodynamic cycles such as the Carnot, Otto, Diesel and Stirling cycle Heat pumps, refrigerators and steam engines Heat transfer Electricity Electrostatics and DC current Magnetic forces and fields Basic methods for analysis of linear electrical circuits. Circuits with resistors and capacitors Kirchhoff's laws, passive components Digitization and electric measurements Basic AC power Analysis of L-R-C circuits Examples of applications Realization Each course occasion´s language and form is stated and appear on the course page on Luleå University of Technology's website. The theoretical part of the course will be taught in form of lessons, including demonstrations and problem solving. In order to reach the aim of the course, the student is encouraged to attend the lessons, read the course literature and solve the recommended exercises. The student will have the opportunity to develop their ability to work in groups during the two compulsory practical sessions. During these two sessions in the laboratory, the students will be able to improve their ability to plan, structure and execute the experiment, while further developing their computer skills by using software such as Excel for data analysis. A written report containing the results obtained during the practical sessions is required. Examination If there is a decision on special educational support, in accordance with the Guideline Student's rights and obligations at Luleå University of Technology, an adapted or alternative form of examination can be provided. Written exam at the end of the course and compulsory midterm exam. Also, compulsory laboratory work with written reports summarizing the results from the practical sessions.
