Knowledge for solving mathematical problems that may arise in engineering.
Understanding and mastery of basic concepts about the general laws of mechanics and thermodynamics.
Knowledge to understand and apply the principles of basic knowledge of general chemistry

This subject considers the acquisition of skills for the design, calculation and dimensioning of thermal systems whose knowledge is considered important for the mechanical engineer, such as those related to thermodynamic processes of thermal machines, reciprocating engines, turbomachines, heat generators and the study of the environmental impact that these facilities are likely to cause.
This knowledge is specific to the training in the mechanical engineering degree, as described in the background of the degree. For the necessary previous basic training, this subject is related to technical thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.

	Grading System
Evaluation System	Face-to-Face	Self-Study Student	Description
Oral presentations assessment	20.00%	0.00%	The submitted works will be valued, as well as the attitude shown by the student. It will take into account: approach to the work, use of the terminology, choice of procedure, justification of the process used, results obtained, cleaning and presentation of the document. In addition, the document must comply with the specific regulations for the delivery thereof, which will be available to students on the Moodle platform. In addition to the delivery of works, it will be necessary and essential to make one or several presentations in power point format in class. In the presentation, the presented work will be valued, as well as the attitude shown by the student in the presentation and the ability to answer questions from the teacher and the rest of the students. The specific rules for the delivery of power point documents will be available in Moodle. The evaluation of the works will be done through the presentations, that is, for the work to be considered, it must be defended in class. In the works and the presentations, more than 50% of the maximum qualification that can be obtained in this activity must be obtained. The student who copies all or part of the work will receive a grade of zero in the activity and will have to examine this content in the final exam. The student who copies the presentation in whole or in part will receive a grade of zero in the activity. The student who, for different reasons, decided not to participate in the group work, or does not exceed it, will have the possibility of exceeding the same contents in the extraordinary final exam.
Laboratory sessions	10.00%	0.00%	The use of the practices and the individual report of the same will be valued. Laboratory and computer lab sessions will be held in small groups. The students will perform different experimental measurements in the laboratory or a series of calculations with some computer program. The work in the laboratory or computer classroom will be valued as well as the report of the practice carried out. This activity will be considered to have passed the activity when the grade obtained from the assessment of the use of the practices and the report thereof is equal to or greater than 5. In case of not meeting the above requirements, students may take an exam of practices together with the extraordinary final exam of the subject, whose value on the final grade will be, in percentage, the same that could be obtained with the realization of the practices. This test must be passed with a minimum grade of 5.
Progress Tests	70.00%	0.00%	It will consist in the realization of progress tests with aspects of theoretical-practical application. Each partial test must be passed at least, with a 5 out of 10. These tests are eliminatory, that is, the student who is passing (with a grade equal to or greater than 5) partial tests will not have to examine the content exceeded in the final exam. The exams that have theoretical part and practical part may be required, in each part, a minimum of 40% of the maximum score that can be obtained in each part to be able to make half with 60% of the other party, in such a way, that finally obtain a minimum grade of 5. Students who do not wish to undergo partial tests must pass the same content in the final exam, so that the weight of the questions related to the topics dealt with will be, as a percentage of the final grade, the same that could have been achieved with the completion of partial tests.
