Competences

  • Communication
  • Demonstrate knowledge of the different reaction, separation and processing operations for materials, and transport and circulation of fluids involved in the industrial processes of chemical engineering.
  • Develop personal work habits.
  • Display knowledge of the principles of machines and mechanisms.
  • Objectively compare and select different technical options for chemical processes.
  • Show an understanding of the role of chemical engineering in the prevention and resolution of environmental and energy problems, in accordance with the principles of sustainable development.
  • Understand and apply the basic principles on which chemical engineering is founded, and more precisely: balances of matter, energy and thermodynamic momentum, phase equilibrium and kinetic chemical equilibrium of the physical processes of matter, energy and momentum transfer, and kinetics of chemical reactions

Learning Outcomes

  1. Apply matter and energy balance to energy systems.
  2. Apply the principles of machines and mechanisms in power plants.
  3. Communicate efficiently, orally and in writing, knowledge, results and skills, both professionally and to non-expert audiences.
  4. Enumerate, describe and compare the different options for applications used in energy systems.
  5. Evaluate the energy consumption of systems.
  6. Identify and evaluate energy systems and their energetic efficiency.
  7. Identify the fluid circulation operations involved in the design of heat transmission systems.
  8. Objectively compare and select the different technical options for heat transmission systems.
  9. Work autonomously.
