In this course concepts needed for the understanding of most of processes taking place in a steam generator, both on board ships and ground installations are developed.
The processes description and critical analysis enables the student the knowledge of design details, operation and maintenance of this kind of equipment, as well as its influence on the operation of other facilities which are often linked, as propulsion, power generation or heating systems.
Without knowledge of the concepts developed in this course is difficult understanding of other subjects in the curriculum, including steam and gas turbines, auxiliary systems of the ship and engine room simulator.
To apply this subject is desirable to have prior knowledge of physics and mathematics.
Contingency plan
1. Modifications to the contents
No changes will be done
2. Methodologies
*Teaching methodologies that are maintained
Keynote speech (takes into account in the evaluation)
Problem solving (takes into account in the evaluation)
Document analysis.
Objective test (takes into account in the evaluation)
Laboratory practices (takes into account in the evaluation).
*Teaching methodologies that are modified
Laboratory practices. The necessary procedures will be developed to guarantee the acquisition of the associated competencies following the recommendations of higher authorities.
Problem solving activity will be “supervised projects” activity.
3. Mechanisms for personalized attention to students
E-mail: To carry out inquiries, solve theoretical and problem-solving doubts and follow up on supervised work.
- Moodle: Through the forums, students can ask questions about theoretical content and problem-solving. Led discussions can be raised on certain contents of the subject.
- Teams: Sessions in the official schedule for the development of the theoretical-practical contents and the supervised works.
Additional sessions if necessary or on student demand, for the resolution of doubts and support in supervised work.
4. Modifications in the evaluation
Problem-solving and Supervised projects account for 30 % of the total mark
Objective test accounts for 60 % of the total mark
*Evaluation observations:
The same requirements are maintained in the 2nd evaluation computing attendance both, personal and on-line if applicable (according to the attendee list downloaded from Teams).
For students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption from attendance exemption, the grade obtained in the activities associated with the personalized tutoring system will correspond to the evaluation of the supervised projects methodology and objective tests, with a weighting of 40 and 60%, respectively.
5. Modifications to the bibliography or webgraphy.
No changes will be done. Students can access digitized content, both theoretical and practical in Moodle.
