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.

Please see the General Evaluation Rules of FEUP.

Calculation formula of final grade

The distributed evaluation of this course will be evaluated by a theoretical mini test in the Moodle platform covering the first half of the matter, without consultation, to be done during the semestre, with a weight of 15% in the exam grade.

During the exam time the evaluation will be composed of a theoretical mini teste covering the second half of the matter, without consultation, with a weight of 15% in the exame grade.
The acces to the practical exam, that consists of all the matter, with a weight of 70%, requires a minimum grade of 2,00 by summing both of the theoretical tests.

Lack of comparancy to the theoretical tests and practical exam are classified with zero grade.

For other exams, the evaluation will consist of a theoretical test, covering all the matter, without consultation, with a weight of 30%, and a practical exam, covering all the matter with a weight of 70%, depending the acces to the practical exam on the minimum grade of 2,00 in the theoretical test.

The theoretical tests have a 15 min. duration.
The maximum evaluation time is 90 min.

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
