Study Notes
Applied Physics
- Course offered at Beni-Suef University, College of Technology and Education
- Target audience: First-year students
- Semester: First
- Department: Basic Science
- Academic year: 2023-2024
Contents
- Unit One: Mechanical properties (pages 1-36)
- Unit Two: Heat and Thermodynamics (pages 37-72)
- Unit Three: MCQ (pages 73-95)
- Unit Four: Laboratory experiments (pages 96-110)
Mechanical Properties
- Introduction: Study of common physical properties of liquids and gases, which are called fluids.
- Pressure: Defined as the force acting per unit area; a scalar quantity. Fluids exert pressure normally to a surface. Pressure measurement device described.
- Streamline flow: The path taken by a fluid particle in a steady flow. No two streamlines cross, consistent with the steady flow requirement.
- Bernoulli's principle: For steady flow of an incompressible fluid, the sum of pressure, kinetic energy per unit volume, and potential energy per unit volume remains constant along a streamline. Explained in terms of change in the kinetic and potential energy of the fluid.
- Variation of pressure with depth: Pressure in a static fluid increases with depth. The following relationship describes the pressure difference between two points in a fluid: P2 - P₁ = pgh
- Pascal's Law: Pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted undiminished throughout the fluid in all directions.
- Density: Mass per unit volume, a key property in fluid mechanics, often a constant for liquids but varies with pressure for gases. Density of specific fluids at a standard temperature given.
Additional Information
- Units and conventions defined in the text; such as, Pascal (Pa), atmosphere (atm). Various examples including how pressure is exerted, its relationship to depth, and measurements. Specific densities provided in a table.
- Formulae presented for different concepts/phenomena, highlighting their physical significance and/or how parameters affect the outcome.
- Diagrams/figures are present to illustrate the concepts discussed.
