Objectives

Specific: understanding the diverse forms of energy (similarities and differences) as well as the basic laws of thermodynamics and their application systems.

Learning outcomes and competences

Expected outcomes: Students should know how to deal with the issue of energy, should be able to apply the fundamental laws of thermodynamics to systems and must be able to perform energy balances as well as calculate the energy efficiency of systems.

Eligibility for exams

Please see the General Evaluation Rules of FEUP.

Calculation formula of final grade

The assessment of this course (uc) will be made as follows:
Formula evaluation: distributed evaluation with final exam. Two Moodle theoretical mini-tests during the semester with a weigh of 15% each, a final written exam with a weigh of 70%-
Resit exam is for the whole subject matter and is also composed of a theoretical Moodle test (30% weigh) and a written pratical test with a weigh of 70%, where the acess to the witten test requires a mark of 2v /6V on the Moodle test.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Evaluation only with a written exam on a date to be set by the course’s responsible.

Observations

On the pratical exams students can only use the book Termodinâmica para Engenharia and thermodynamic tables. Those that don´t have the recommended book can use 4 paper sheets (A4) with any kind of information. The theoretical part of the exam will be based on an American version and it will be carried out on Moodle
