| Objetius |
| The aim of this subject is to facilitate the learning of concepts and to illustrate in a practical way the Thermodynamic phenomena, as a support to the theoretical module. To know technical and measuring instruments related to Thermodynamics. To familiarize the student with experimental equipment and to develop abilities in its manipulation, as well as in data taking and processing. To know how to use the scientific language, learning how to describe and discuss methods and results in report writing. |
