3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession

This subject is taught in the second year of the Degree that will be taught in the second semester, and together with the subject of Heat Transmission they form the Subject of HEAT ENGINEERING

The objective is to provide students with basic information on Applied Technical Thermodynamics. To do this, concepts such as the thermodynamics of water vapor, energy analysis of combustion systems and energy generation systems using thermal machines and steam and gas turbines will be reviewed. With this information, the student will have a general vision of how to carry out the design of more efficient thermal systems, as well as certain models necessary to obtain qualitative conclusions about the design of thermal power plants for electricity production.

In addition, the fundamentals of industrial refrigeration and the knowledge of refrigeration technology necessary to gain basic experience in the design of refrigeration installations will be provided. And the fundamentals of psychrometrics and air conditioning to gain basic experience in the design of industrial chemical process air conditioning installations.

In this subject, students will study the different behavior of machines that work with vapors (water vapour) from those that work with gases. In this subject they will learn to calculate the enthalpy variations of any transformation that a gas or vapor undergoes.

This subject is related to Thermodynamics, Heat Transmission, Material and Energy Balances and Projects,…

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
Evaluation System Continuous assessment Non-continuous evaluation * Description
Final test 75.00% 75.00% Partial examination or final examination
Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies 25.00% 25.00% Partial examination or final examination
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 evaluate the THERMAL ENGINEERING subject, the following activity will be carried out, which is detailed below with the corresponding approximate percentage weight in the global evaluation:

    1. Exam with two different parts. A part of theoretical questions (test type) and theoretical-practical questions about the contents taught in the subject (50% of the exam grade). Another problem (50% of the exam grade) that may be the analysis of a thermal power plant or refrigeration machine similar to the resolution of problems and/or cases and the design of an action turbine.

    To pass the course in each of the exam sections, the average must be equal to or greater than 5.0/10.
  • Non-continuous evaluation:
    To evaluate the THERMAL ENGINEERING subject, the following activity will be carried out, which is detailed below with the corresponding approximate percentage weight in the global evaluation:

    1. Exam with two different parts. A part of theoretical questions (test type) and theoretical-practical questions about the contents taught in the subject (50% of the exam grade). Another problem (50% of the exam grade) that may be the analysis of a thermal power plant or refrigeration machine similar to the resolution of problems and/or cases and the design of an action turbine.
