Description


The subject of Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics is developed in two different sections. The first refers to the statics and dynamics of fluids where the fundamental principles of general mechanics applied to the behavior of fluids, both at rest and in motion, are explained. These principles are those of the conservation of matter, energy and Newton's laws of motion applied to the study of incompressible fluids. The fields of application in engineering are very diverse: transport of fluids in pipelines, biological fluids, ships, etc.

The other part refers to the study of the thermodynamic properties of solids, liquids and gases. Applying the principles of conservation of matter and energy, the three principles of thermodynamics are developed in both their theoretical and practical content.


This subject has methodological and digital resources to make possible its continuity in non-contact mode in the case of being necessary for reasons related to the Covid-19. In this way, the achievement of the same knowledge and skills that are specified in this teaching plan will be ensured.
The Tecnocampus will make available to teachers and students the digital tools needed to carry out the course, as well as guides and recommendations that facilitate adaptation to the non-contact mode.

Learning outcomes


At a general level, this subject contributes to the following learning outcomes specified for the subject to which it belongs (Mechanical and Materials Engineering)

Is able to know, understand and use: (CE7, CE8)
- the principles and foundations of applied thermodynamics.
- the principles and foundations of heat transmission.
- the principles and foundations of thermal equipment and generators.
- knowledge of the basic principles of fluid mechanics.
- the principles of fluid mechanics in fluid transport.
- the principles of fluid mechanics in energy transmission systems (oleohydraulics and pneumatics).
- Interpret, analyze, synthesize and draw conclusions from the results of measurements and tests.

Write texts with the appropriate structure for communication objectives. Introduce the text to an audience with the right strategies and means. (CE8, CE9, CE13, CE14)

Know and put into practice the way and dynamics of teamwork (CE7, CE8, CE9, CE13, CE14)

Identifies one's own information needs and uses the collections, spaces and services available to design and execute searches appropriate to the thematic area (CE8, CE9, CE13, CE14)

Carry out the tasks assigned based on the basic guidelines given by the teacher, deciding the time to be used in each section, including personal contributions and expanding the sources of information indicated. (CE7, CE8, CE9, CE13, CE14)

Identifies one's own information needs and uses the collections, spaces and services available to design and execute searches appropriate to the thematic area (CE8, CE9, CB4, CB5)

Carry out the tasks assigned based on the basic guidelines given by the teacher, deciding the time to be used in each section, including personal contributions and expanding the sources of information indicated. (CE7, CE8, CE9, CE13, CE14)

Working methodology


  • Expository class sessions based on the teacher's explanation.
  • Laboratory practice sessions with individual work with computer or with small group work.
  • Non-contact activities dedicated to the resolution of practical exercises based on the data provided by the teacher.

In the theoretical sessions the students have all the necessary information to follow the explanations of the professor and / or to study them of autonomous form by means of the notes, so much of theory as of multitude of problems solved and others that have to solve the students. 

The organization of the subject consists of differentiating the class activities and the activities of the students, these are in the eCampus of the subject defined and classified in the timetable.

In the practical laboratory sessions, the practical part of the theoretical concepts is deepened, taking measures of various types, carrying out theoretical calculations and their experimental verification, at the same time as conclusions are drawn from them.

Learning activities


A series of activities of an eminently practical nature (short exercises, problems ...) are made available to students, which are the basis of the learning activities of the subject. These activities will have to be solved by the students, often in a non-contact way, following the instructions of the teachers and will also be worked on in class.  

In order to gather evidence of the achievement of the expected learning outcomes, the following evaluative activities will be carried out:

Face-to-face activities:
- Exhibition of contents. Evidence of learning outcomes (CE8, CE9)
- Carrying out laboratory practices in teams of few students (Evidence of learning outcomes (CE8, CE9, CB5)

- Solving exercises, problems and cases, with the participation of the student (Evidence of learning outcomes (CE8, CE9, CB4, CB5)

Non-Face-to-Face Activities:
- Completion of exercises or theoretical or practical projects outside the classroom, individually or in groups (Evidence of learning outcomes (CE8, CE9, CB4, CB5)
- Study, work and personal analysis. Evidence of learning outcomes (CE8, CE9, CB5)
- Tutoring and formative evaluation of the learning process (Evidence of learning outcomes (CE8, CE9, CB5)

The activities are divided into theoretical and practical sessions. In the theoretical sessions the students have all the necessary information to follow the explanations of the professor and / or to study them of autonomous form by means of the notes, so much of theory as of multitude of problems solved. The activities are programmed by the students in the eCampus differentiating the activities inside the classroom (class activities) from the activities of the students outside the classroom (student activities). The activities proposed to the students correspond to the resolution of problems and to the study of concrete subjects proposed to deepen in concepts explained in class. In the practical sessions the activities promote the development of skills for experimentation, such as identifying and using laboratory material, control of variables and relevant data, hypothesis and teamwork. Within this context, the practical sessions will include theoretical sessions on key topics and concepts in thermodynamics.

• Practice where the viscosity of different fluids is measured.
• Problem sessions related to fluid statics and dynamics.
• Problem sessions where the principles of thermodynamics are used.
• Theoretical session on Black Body Radiation.
• Theoretical session on Entropy.

Evaluation system


There will be two exams during the course, a first partial and a second partial or final exam. Apart from the laboratory sessions.

The final grade is the weighted sum between the exams and the work of the laboratory sessions.

FINAL GRADE = (EXAM 1)x(0,4)+(EXAM 2)x(0,4) + (WORKS)x(0,20)

o

FINAL GRADE = (FINAL EXAM)x(0,8) (PAPERS)x(0,20)

To be able to access the weighted sum, the exams must be passed with a minimum grade of Pass 4.

There will be an extraordinary recovery session for the exam for all students who do not pass the subject in the ordinary assessment.

The grade of this recovery will replace the exam grade obtained in the ordinary evaluation.
