4. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING METHODOLOGY

The course will be developed through:

Lectures. The basic concepts of the course is presented through multimedia presentations, theoretical lectures, and examples.

Lecture (practice). Some content will be explored through activities that involve the practical application of theoretical concepts. There will be five labs, each with a duration of 2 h:

Practice 1. Study of a steam power plant.

Practice 2. Study of a steam jet ejection cooling system.

Practice 3. Study of a cooling tower.

Practice 4. The Phychrometric Chart.

Practice 5.  Combustion analysis.

Guided work. Modeling thermal systems.

Group tutorial support sessions: Questions about guided work.

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support

5. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

Test (70% theory and problems).

Compulsory attendance to practical lessons (10%).

Compulsory written work about practical lessons and guided work (20%).
