PHY 150 - Physical Science for PNG

Institution:

Lackawanna College

Subject:

Physical Science

Description:

This course includes both chemistry and physics relating to petroleum and natural gas technology sector sciences, including gas properties, Boyles Equation, Charles Equation, Avogadros Law; Daltons Law of Partial Pressures, Stokes law and Amagats Laws. Students will study the behavior of gases using the Ideal and Real Laws, compositions of natural gas, pressure concepts such as Gauge Pressure vs. Absolute Pressure, Vapor pressures, and partial pressures. Concepts such as STD conditions, Density, Gravity; Temperature types and Mass vs. Weight will be related to PNG chemistry. Additional chemistry concepts such as Molecular weight, Moles (pound mole and gram mole), Mole fraction and Energy, the properties of naturally occurring hydrocarbons; Phases of Gas-Liquid- Solid from PVT diagrams, and quantifying phase behavior will be studied. Physics topics will include measurement, motion, kinetic energy and work, potential energy and conservation of energy, momentum, torque, fluids, waves and heat and refrigeration. (3credits).
