THE EXERCISE OF EXAM WILL BE OF THE SAME TYPE AS THOSE SOLVED DURING THE CLASSROM EXERCISES, WHOSE SOLUTION IS AVAILABLE ON THE CLASS WEBSITE.
THE ORAL TEST IS INTENDED TO DEEPEN THE LEVEL OF THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE, THE AUTONOMY OF ANALYSIS AND JUDGMENT, AND THE STUDENT'S EXPOSITIVE CAPABILITIES.
IN THE ORAL EXAMINATION OF APPLIED THERMODYNAMICS, QUESTIONS MAY BE ASKED ABOUT: THE PRINCIPLES OF THERMODYNAMICS OFCLOSED AND OPEN SYSTEMS, THE THERMODYNAMICS OF THE STATES, IDEAL AND REAL WORKING CYCLES, PROPERTIES AND TRANSFORMATIONS OF MOIST AIR, THE FUNDAMENTAL EQUATIONS OF THERMAL EXCHANGE MECHANISMS, HEAT EXCHANGERS.

THE MINIMUM LEVEL OF EVALUATION (18/30) IS ATTRIBUTED WHEN THE STUDENT SHOWS A LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS OF THERMODYNAMICS, HEAT TRANSFER AND ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEMS, AS WELL AS LOW EXPOSURE CAPABILITY.
THE MAXIMUM LEVEL (30/30) IS ATTRIBUTED WHEN THE STUDENT SHOWS A COMPLETE AND IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES AND METHODS AND IS ABLE TO SOLVE THE PROPOSED PROBLEMS BY ADOPTING THE MOST APPROPRIATE APPROACH.
THE FINAL VOTE IS OBTAINED AS THE AVERAGE OF THE RESULTS ACHIEVED IN APPLIED THERMODYNAMICS AND ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEMS.
HONORS ARE ATTRIBUTED WHEN THE CANDIDATE EXHIBITS HIGH-LEVEL THEORETICAL AND OPERATIVE SKILLS, AS WELL AS GOOD COMMUNICATION AND AUTONOMOUS PROCESSING CAPABILITIES, EVEN IN AREAS OTHER THAN THOSE PROPOSED BY THE PROFESSORS.
