PHYS 26.1 Heat Transfer
Reading: Don't Panic Vol III pp 5-10
Homework: Ch. 1: Pr 3,4-7; Ex 4
Keywords: Latent heat, Change of phase, Conduction, Convection, Radiation.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this session the student will be able to:
  1. describe the three modes of heat transfer.
  2. use the empirical formula for heat conduction to solve problems involving simple systems, compound systems and systems with varying geometry.

PHYS 26.2 Ideal Gas Laws
Reading: Don't Panic Vol III pp 23-30
Homework: Ch. 2: Pr 1-3,5; Ex 1,2,4
Keywords: Kinetic Energy & Temperature

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this session the student will be able to:
  1. demonstrate that the ideal gas laws are contained in PV = NkT = nRT.
  2. derive, using a simple model, the critically important relationship between temperature and kinetic energy.
