Learning outcomes |
The overall objective of this course unit is to provide students with knowledge and skills in heat transfer and mass transfer, enabling them to solve theoretical and practical problems frequently encountered in thermal systems or industrial processes. By the end of the course, students should be able to: evaluate, through analysis and critical reasoning, the impact of environmental, material, and design variables on the performance of thermal systems involving thermal radiation and mass transfer; correlate, through the integration of knowledge, the principles of heat and mass transfer in theoretical and practical situations; and solve complex engineering problems by applying the theoretical and practical methods learned during the course.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The adopted teaching methodology includes the oral and interactive presentation of fundamental concepts related to each topic of the course unit, utilizing visualization tools such as data shows and writing on a conventional board. It also involves applying theoretical concepts to practical problems, focusing on the development of problem-solving techniques.
The knowledge assessment process consists of individual resolution of theoretical and practical problems during the semester in the classroom. The overall assessment of the course will be based on the work carried out by the students in the following areas: Knowledge assessment test (TA); Attendance with class participation (AP). Frequency classification (CF): CF= 0.90*TA+0.10*AP. FC<6, not admitted to the exam; FC>16, oral exam. Exam grade: corresponds to performance in the exam. Grades above 16 require an oral exam.
