Thermodynamics. Heat Transfer Fluid Mechanics.

Objectives To introduce to the student in the socials problems associated with the consumption of conventional energy sources To provide the student with a specific knowledge about the captation, conversion, and use of renewables sources, considering energetical, economical and environmental aspects. To evaluate the renewable technologies and the energy savings for the economy and the nature conservation. At the end of the course the student will be able to: - Understand the energy consumption of fossil origin and their associated environmental impact, as well as the basic concepts of these technologies. - Evaluate conventional and renewable energy sources. - Design renewable systems for the production of tape hot water, heating and refrigeration. - Evaluate and design biomass systems.

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.
