Context
initial chaperone by a very experienced senior engineer with the company
and is followed by intensive further study and practical application of your
developing engineering knowledge.

Task Produce a document, intended for use by both new recruits and experienced
staff members, which acts as reference material providing useful definitions,
units and fundamental terms which are encountered when working with
heat, materials and fluids. This work should include:
● Description of relevant quantities and associated units
● Explanations of definitions used in thermal physics, materials and
fluids
● Example calculations which are used to show efficiency applied to
industrial applications.
● An explanation of the application of thermal physics in both the
home and industry
● An explanation indicating where physical aspects of materials and
relevance of fluid flow aspects apply in the home and in industry and
an Analysis of their importance.
● Demonstration of concepts and changes of state by applying
examples to given situations and example calculations for ideal
gases, first law of thermodynamics, specific and latent heat
calculations, to include practical activities demonstrating specific heat
capacity and changes of state.
● Produce a report which explains the following physical concepts

applied to materials in domestic and industrial settings. Provide
suitable example calculations where appropriate.

You will need to demonstrate an understanding of the use of relevant


quantities and units by providing suitable definitions and example
calculations, obtained using suitable practical activities:
● Density, tensile and compressive stress and strain, Young’s modulus
and Hooke’s Law
Mathematical presentation from the results of the experiments carried out
will be clear and accurate, and interpreted to demonstrate the concepts
investigated.
Explain the following concepts in fluid flow and apply them in appropriate
domestic and industrial situations. These will include:
● Viscosity and viscous drag
● Streamline and turbulent fluid flow patterns including pressure
● Non-Newtonian fluid flow
● Mass of fluid flow per second
● Bernoulli’s principle

Checklist of A report that includes:


evidence ● A description of relevant quantities and associated units
required ● Explanations of definitions used in thermal physics, materials and
fluids
● Calculations of efficiency
● Practical investigations into the concepts involved
● A report into materials, density, stress/strain, Young’s modulus and
Hooke’s Law, with calculations
● An explanation of viscosity, fluid flow patterns, measurements of fluid
flow and Bernoulli’s principle
