5.1. Methodological overview
The learning process designed for this subject is based on the following:
The current subject Thermal engineering and energy technology is conceived as a stand-alone combination of contents, yet organized into three fundamental and complementary forms, which are: the theoretical concepts of each teaching unit, the solving of problems or resolution of questions and laboratory work, at the same time supported by other activities.
5.2. Learning tasks
The programme offered to the student to help them achieve their target results is made up of the following activities...
Involves the active participation of the student, in a way that the results achieved in the learning process are developed, not taking away from those already set out, the activities are the following:
- Face-to-face generic activities:
* Theory Classes.
* Practical Classes.
* Laboratory Workshop.
* Seminars.
- Generic non-class activities:
* Study and understanding of the theory taught in the lectures.
* Understanding and assimilation of the problems and practical cases solved in the practical classes.
* Preparation of seminars, solutions to proposed problems, etc.
* Preparation of laboratory workshops, preparation of summaries and reports.
* Preparation of the written tests for continuous assessment and final exams.
5.3. Syllabus
The program of the subject includes eight topics:
THEORETICAL CONTENTS
1 Introductory concepts and definitions.
2 Energy and the first law of Thermodynamics.
3 Properties of a pure, simple compressible subtance.
4 Control volume energy analysis.
5 The second law of Thermodynamics and Entropy.
6 Vapor power systems.
7 Refrigeration and heat pump systems.
PRACTICAL CONTENTS
Some topics discussed in the previous section have associated laboratory practices in this regard. As the topics are developed, these Practices will be presented, both in the classroom and through the Moodle platform.
Following are those practices to be developed in the laboratory that will be carried out by the students in sessions of 2 hours duration.
Practice 1: Heat pump.
Practice 2: Thermal insulation.
Practice 3: Thermohygrometry.
CONTENTS SEMINARS
Thermal solar energy. Introduction. Solar Collectors. Elements of an installation. Applications. Calculation of facilities.
5.4. Course planning and calendar
The dates of the final exams will be those that are officially published at http://www.eupla.es/secretaria/academica/examenes.html.
The written assessment tests will be related to the following topics:
- Test 1: Topics 1, 2, 3 and 4.
- Test 2: Topics 5, 6 and 7.
