Topics

Issued on Regulation (EU) 2018/1142

Matter

Nature of matter: the chemical elements, structure of atoms, molecules;
Chemical compounds;
States: solid, liquid and gaseous;
Changes between states.

Mechanics

Statics
- Forces, moments and couples, representation as vectors;
- Centre of gravity;
  Elements of theory of stress, strain and elasticity: tension, compression, shear and torsion;
- Nature and properties of solid, fluid and gas;
- Pressure and buoyancy in liquids (barometers).
Kinetics
- Linear movement: uniform motion in a straight line, motion under constant acceleration (motion under gravity);
- Rotational movement: uniform circular motion (centrifugal/centripetal forces);
- Periodic motion: pendular movement;
- Simple theory of vibration, armonics and resonance;
- Velocity ratio, mechanical advantage and efficiency.
Dynamics
- (A)
  - Mass;
  - Force, inertia, work, power, energy (potential, kinetic and total energy), heat, efficiency;
- (B)
  - Momentum, conservation of momentum;
  - Impulse;
  - Gyroscopic principles;
  - Friction: nature and effects, coefficient of friction (rolling resistance).
Fluid dynamics
- (A)
  - Specific gravity and density;
- (B)
  - Viscosity, fluid resistance, effects of streamlining;
  - Effects of compressibility on fluids;
  - Static, dynamic and total pressure: Bernoulli’s Theorem, venturi.

Thermodynamics

(A)
- Temperature: thermometers and temperature scales: Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin; Heat definition;
(B)
- Heat capacity, specific heat;
- Heat transfer: convection, radiation and conduction;
- Volumetric expansion;
- First and second law of thermodynamics;
- Gases: ideal gases laws; specific heat at constant volume and constant pressure, work done by expanding gas;
- Isothermal, adiabatic expansion and compression, engine cycles, constant volume and constant pressure, refrigerators and heat pumps;
- Latent heats of fusion and evaporation, thermal energy, heat of combustion.
