The aim of the course is understanding and acquiring the knowledge related to the transformation of heat into work and vice versa, based on the approach of ideal and real behavior systems and property balances, and the evaluation of different thermodynamic properties of irreversible nature that allow deepening in the fields of Thermodynamics applied to Chemical Engineering. The course has a clear practical character and aimed at the calculation and design of power generation and cooling equipment, power cycles, etc., with a large application to practical cases related to different industrial processes. On the other hand, the bases of the thermodynamics of the solutions and the applications of the balance between phases, particularly the liquid-vapor operations will be treated. These contents are fundamental for different subjects of later courses in the Degree in Chemical Engineering.
It is intended that the student achieve a basic training for understanding the aspects of the application of thermodynamics, skill in calculations of thermodynamic nature, and at the same time that understand the complexity of the heat-work operations. On the other hand, the student must have acquired the basic knowledge in Physics (previous secourse), since this subject requires this knowledge in solving problems in the first lessons.
It is essential, from the beginning of the course, skills in the use of programmable calculators to develop calculations in complex problems and/or certain techniques (iterative calculations, for example). Likewise, the student has to use spreadsheets for calculations.
It is convenient to have certain knowledge for the search of bibliography in databases to improve the learning based on the explanations given in the class.

SCENARIO 1
The teaching methodology related with expositive lessons will consist to contribute theoretical material to students through the “campus virtual”. The students must use this material during the personal work previously to expositive lessons trying that these lessons have a practical character mixing theoretical and practical concepts. This fact allows to explain the expositive lessons with agility and dynamic. The professor will explain (expositive lessons) basic concepts with suitable explanations. During lessons used to solve problems, detailed explanations will be carried out regarding structure, contents and application, taking into account the questions formulated by the students with a suitable interactions between professors and students. The students must acquire enough information to solve the problems without important difficulties. Some examples will solve using spreadsheet.
In seminar lessons several activities related with theoretical concepts and problems previously worked in the other types of lessons. The seminars will be placed in a suitable weeks in order to employ the previously acquired information.
The tutorials (both group and individual) will preferably be carried out on line via MS Teams.
SCENARIO 2
In the situation corresponding to scenario 2, the expositive lessons will be carried out on line using MS Teams and the Campus Virtual.
SCENARIO 3
In the situation corresponding to scenario 3, all activities will be carried out on line using MS Teams and the Campus Virtual to develop all types of lessons.

Relación entre Actividad y Competencias CE CG CT
Expositive lessons: CI.1.1, CG.3, CT.1, CG.4 CT.6, CT.13
Seminars and group tutorials CI.1.1, CG.3, CT.6, CG.4, CT.7, CT.13, CT.19
Individual tutorials CI.1.1, CG.3, CT.6, CG.4, CT.7, CT.13. CT.19
The student learning will be evaluated by means of activities, solving problems individually or by teams, emphasizing the use of spreadsheets. There will be a final exam, focusing on the most relevant aspects of the subject and, fundamentally, on the aspects of calculation and application.
Short-term tests (10-15 min) will be carried out throughout the semester in the full group (E) classes.
The qualification mark will be divided into activities related to continuous assessment and examination.
Continuous evaluation:
Short-term tests during lectures: 10%
Activities during tutorials: 5%
Delivery of exercises: 10%
Tests / rapid tests: 5%
It will be necessary to reach a minimum of 4 points (maximum 10) in the evaluation activities corresponding to the continuous assessment.
- 70% exam
It will be necessary to reach a minimum of 3 points over 10 in the exam grade.
The marks corresponding to the works, activities, class tests and tutorials will be communicated to the student before the final exam.
In each call, at the second opportunity, all the grades obtained at the first opportunity are maintained, to be added to the new written exam.
The different competences indicated above are achieved in the performance of the written exam (CI1, CG3, CT1), problem solving (CI1, CT6, CG4, CT1, CT7), work with spreadsheet (CI1, CT6), work in group (CG4, CT13, CT19).
Extraordinary call: a written exam with the characteristics indicated above will be maintained. In this case it will mean 100% of the qualification.
This distribution of activities related to the evaluation will be maintained in the three scenarios proposed by the USC.
The exam will be face-to-face in scenario 1 and 2, and synchronous telematic in scenario 3.
The rapid tests will be face-to-face in scenario 1 and synchronous telematic in scenarios 2 and 3.
Deliveries of the seminars will be face-to-face in scenarios 1 and 2 and asynchronous telematic in the 3 one and, finally, the assessment of activities of the tutorials in the three scenarios will be asynchronous telematic.
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for the evaluation of student academic performance and review of grades will apply.
The teaching time (for the student) of lectures, seminars and interactive classes, and tutorial is of 37, 12 and 2 hours, respectively.
Student work hours:
Lectures: 82 h
Seminars: 26 h
Group tutorials: 10 h
Subtotal 118 h
Individualized tutorials: 5 h
Exam and revision: 27 h
Total: 150 hours (ECTS = 6.0)
It is essential, given the length and difficulty of the course, to have a sustained conviction along the time in order to improve the learning of the contents and pass the subject.
The student must study Thermodynamics books to have a vision that goes beyond explanations during classes. Also, the information search by internet is recommended.
a) The language will be Spanish.
b) The material necessary for the development of the expositive lessons and the work during the seminars will be delivered in advance.
c) The slides employed during the expository classes, tests and other teaching material (seminars) will be delivered in advance through the virtual campus of the University of Santiago de Compostela.
d) In the activities carried out on line, MS Teams will be used together with the campus virtual. For these activities, it is recommended that the computer be equipped with a microphone and a camera.
e) The mask must be used during the student's stay at the center. All instructions from health authorities and from USC itself must be followed scrupulously to protect the health of Covid-19. Use a mask, use hydrogel, or wash your hands with soap and water according to the instructions and, when possible, increase the distance with the rest of the classmates and the professors in the classroom.
Contingency procedure
METHODOLOGY
In relation to the development of on line learning activities, they will be carried out synchronously or asynchronously, as indicated by the center, and always in accordance with the timetables established by the center, through the Campus Virtual and MS Teams .
Due to the nature and content of this subject, as well as the methodology used, the main difference between face-to-face teaching and on line teaching is the means by which the assessment sessions and activities are carried out.
To carry out tutorials, as well as to maintain direct communication both between the students themselves and between them and the professors, it can be done through the Campus Virtual forum, through MS Teams or by email.
EVALUATION SYSTEM
The evaluation system has no differences between the different scenarios, regardless of the type of teaching used (face-to-face or on line), with the only difference that the evaluation activities will be carried out, as established by the competent authorities, either in person or remotely through the telematic media available at USC.
