Description of contents: programme

Heating and cooling loads Heat exchangers Industrial heating systems Industrial refrigeration systems

Learning activities and methodology

Learning activities will consist of: - Lectures where the fundamental concepts will be presented. Lecture notes and basis references will be provided. - Assignments will be given so the students can self-evaluate their knowledge and acquire the required skills. - The assignments proposed to the students will be discussed during the lectures. - Labs: assignments will be solved in the computer room. - The goup work will be the calculation of thermal loads in buildings

Assessment System

% end-of-term-examination/test 60
% of continuous assessment (assigments, laboratory, practicals...) 40

Calendar of Continuous assessment

The evaluation system includes continuous assessment of the student's work and evaluation through a final written exam in which the knowledge, skills, and abilities acquired throughout the course will be globally assessed.
To calculate the average with continuous assessment, both in the ordinary and extraordinary calls, it will be necessary to achieve a minimum score of 4.5 in those ordinary or extraordinary exams.
The evaluation system includes continuous assessment of the student's work and groupwork.
