Introduction to the environment technology partim 2
Objectives
- Obtain the basic knowledge needed for all courses of environment technology, environment lauw and toxicology which are taught in the second and third year
- Know, understand and be able to interpret physical concepts, magnitudes and terms in environment laws
- Be able to make simple calculations with physical magnitudes (e.g. pressure, temperature, volume, power, energy) which are related to environmental sciences and technologies
Topics
The most important items in the course " basic notions of physics" are: notions about movement, force, work, power, energy, thermo-dynamics, electricity, magnetism, state of matter, vibrations and waves.
For each of these items, attention will only be given to the points which are really necessary for the technical environment courses in the following academic years. Some basic formulations have to be used by the students in exercises. For calculations, attention will be given to the use of the right units and to the conversion in practical units.
Prerequisites
No special knowledge required.
Everybody who succeeded in secondary education can follow this course.
