-Carry out a force budget of material systems.
-Apply the laws of mechanics and conservation principles to prédict the movements of material systems.
-Establish and apply the laws of fluid statics and fluid dynamics for laminar flows.
-Apply the first and second laws of thermodynamics to open and cyclic transformations. |
