Learning outcome
After having completed this course the student should be able to:
- Understand qualitatively the connection between macroscopic properties of matter and the microscopic dynamics of atoms and molecules.
- Use phase diagrams for pure substances.
- Analyze simple open and closed systems using the first and second law of thermodynamics, continuity equation, impulse-momentum theorem and equations of motion.
- Understand the basic properties of fluids such as surface tension, buoyancy, viscosity, laminar and turbulent flow.
- Analyze simple flow problems using the energy and momentum equations.

Coursework requirements
- The lab part consists of 4 tasks worked out individually.
- Each studentattends one 3-hour lab session.
- The lab sessions take place during one week in the second half of the semester.
- Attendance in the lab is obligatory.
- Lab reports are worked out in a python notebook and handed in individually.
The two obligatory hand-ins are to be delivered in the first half of the semester. These must be submitted within a given deadline and approved by the teacher. The approval will be only valid for two years.
