2. Pre-Requisites
Not established
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
Its study is essential for the training of the Chemical Engineer since, taking as a basis the previously acquired knowledge on transport mechanisms of the three extensive properties (matter, energy and momentum) and the basic operations of fluid flow and heat transmission, As well as on the thermodynamics of mixtures and the equilibrium between phases, it allows to approach the study of the different operations of separation by mass transfer and heat transmission commonly used in chemical processes that have not been previously addressed in the degree.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
Evaluation System Continuous assessment Non-continuous evaluation * Description
Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies 30.00% 0.00% Problem solving and preparation of short papers and oral presentations in a multilingual environment
Final test 70.00% 100.00% Final test of the contents not evaluated in the resolution of problems and cases. This test will include questions about the contents evaluated in the problems and cases only for those people who have not submitted them and have opted for a non-continuous evaluation.
Total: 100.00% 100.00%  
According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).

Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
  • Continuous assessment:
    To pass the course, a minimum average grade of 5 points (out of 10) will be required. In each of the assessable parts it will be necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 4 (out of 10).
  • Non-continuous evaluation:
    For those people who have not submitted the problems or cases, these competencies will be evaluated in additional questions in the ordinary and extraordinary calls.
