Learning outcomes |
The objective of this UC is to teach the fundamentals of Applied Thermodynamics so that the student may gain an understanding and proficiency on thermodynamics with view to solve practical problems of thermal engineering as may be encountered by a aeronautical engineer.
At the end of the course the student should be able to:
- understand the basic thermodynamics concepts;
- analyze simple processes by applying the 1st and 2nd Laws of Thermodynamics.
- utilize the water vapor tables and the equations of state for ideal gases.
- perform energy balances to power (vapor and gas turbine) and refrigeration cycles, and calculate performance parameters.
- understand the principles of combustion and know how to do an energy balance to reacting systems.
- analyze simple thermodynamics systems, including reactive systems.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Teaching methodologies are based on mixed theoretical/practical and practical approaches. There are 2 classes per week with 2 hours each. In one the theoretical concepts are given, followed immediately by practical illustrations. In the practical class, numerical exercises involving application of the theory to concrete thermodynamics engineering problems are solved. In addition, there are two laboratory classes along the semester.
Evaluation:
Periodic: the periodic evaluation is based on a written test (TE). Minimum mark in the test is 9.5 (in 20). Final mark: NF=NTE.
Exam: the exam evaluation is based on a written test (TE). Minimum mark in the test is 9.5 (in 20). Final mark: NF=NTE.
The "Admitido" concession requires the participation in 2/3 of the theoretical-practical classes.
Marks above 16 require a final oral examination.
