- All the courses in mathematics (calculus, algebra, etc.) - Engineering fluid mechanics

The goal of this course is make the student familiar with the application of Fluid Mechanics to industry-related problems, chiefly the transport and distribution of fluids. At the end of the course, the student must be able to: - Understand the physical problems associated to the transport and distribution of fluids through networks. - Make the necessary hypotheses to apply, in a rigorous way, the fluid mechanics conservation laws to real problems. - Identify the role of the different elements existing in a transport network. - Define the necessary steps to design and analyze a fluid transport installation.

CB1. Students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that builds on the foundation of general secondary education, and is usually at a level that, while relying on advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study CB2. Students are able to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and possess the competences usually demonstrated through the development and defence of arguments and problem solving within their field of study. CB3. Students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (usually within their field of study) in order to make judgements which include reflection on relevant social, scientific or ethical issues. CB5. Students will have developed the learning skills necessary to undertake further study with a high degree of autonomy. CG1.

The methodology will include: (1) Lectures, where the basic knowledges will be exposed. (2) Resolution of problems. (3) Resolution of problems by the student, that will be useful to self-assess his/her knowledge and develop the necessary skills. (4) The students will attend the lab sessions and elaborate the lab reports.
