About

Thermal Engineering from Polytechnic University of Catalonia aims to propose quality third-cycle studies, focused on deepening knowledge of basic and applied subjects that would serve as scientific and technical support in research tasks in the field of thermal mechanical engineering.   

Overview

Thermal Engineering from Polytechnic University of Catalonia aims to provide basic training in subjects that constitute the scientific and technical support for research, development and innovation in the field of thermal mechanical engineering. The aim is also to provide operational scientific principles that enable correct resolution and a rational basis for design and construction problems in equipment for the generation, transfer and/or recovery of thermal energy from any source of industrial application. The core of knowledge is formed by thermodynamic concepts and the creation of models of heat transfer and mass phenomena.

Students at Thermal Engineering from Polytechnic University of Catalonia will:

  • gain solid training in basic subjects focused on mathematical formulation, numerical resolution and experimental validation of basic phenomena of fluid dynamics and heat and mass transfer. 
  • gain a systematic understanding of the field of study and a mastery of the research skills and methods related to the field.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

  • Refrigeration (compressors, vapor compression refrigeration systems, absorption refrigeration systems, etc.)
  • Heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC)
  • Active and passive solar systems (high efficiency solar collectors using transparent insulating material, multifunctional glass façades, high temperature solar furnaces, etc.)
  • Heat exchangers (double tube, shell-and-tube, condensers, evaporators, compact heat exchangers, refrigeration towers, boilers, etc.)
  • Thermal heat storage systems (using liquids or phase change materials)
  • Aerogenerators or wind motors
