Competencies and objectives
Course context for academic year 2025-26
La asignatura de Ingeniería Térmica es una asignatura del core del grado en Ingeniería Aeroespacial, que se estudia en el priemr semestre del segundo curso. Consta de 6 ECTS, repartidos en 3 ECTS de teoría, 1.5 ECTS de prácticas de problemas en aula y 1.5 ECTS de prácticas de laboratorio experimental. Sienta las bases de la termodinámica térmica, y de los sistemas de conversión del calor en energía mecánica, que son la base de ciclos de producción de electricidad, de movilidad y de propulsión. Para ello, es preciso haber cursado Fundamentos Físicos I y Fundamentos Químicos de la Ingniería Aeroespacial.
Asimismo se introduce muy ligeramente el transporte de fluidos ya que será necesario para poder afrontar la descripción de los mecanismos del transporte de calor.
Durante las 10 primeras semanas, se darán la totalidad de los créditos de teoría y prácticas de problemas. De la semana 11 a 15, se darán los créditos de laboratorio experimental, de forma que todo el contenido teorico-práctico ya se ha dado.
La asistencia a las prácticas de laboratorio experimental son obligatorias.
