Course Overview
Thermal engineering is a broad field of engineering that encompasses technologies dealing with heating and cooling systems, transfer of heat, and fluid mechanics. Instruments that control temperature are essential in many areas, including the electric power industry; the automobile industry; and the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry. The principles of thermal engineering are also crucial to the operation of vehicles and other machines.
Course Breakup
The students are made to learn the various advanced field through theory and practicals like:
Heat Transfer, Thermodynamics, Engineering Fluid Mechanics, Fuels and Combustion and Computation Methods and Thermal Engineering Laboratory
The second semester focuses on the design and instrumentation field through theories like:
Design of Thermal Systems, Instrumentation for Thermal Engineering, Environmental Engineering and Pollution Control.
Also students are motivated to take their own electives with related the thermal engineering field like : Computational Fluid Dynamics, Fans, Blowers and Compressors, Food Processing, Preservation and Transport, Nuclear Engineering, Industrial Refrigeration Systems, Refrigeration Systems Design, Energy Management in Thermal Systems.
In third semester there are 3 electives which are selected by students related to the thermal engineering field like:
Design and Analysis of Turbo machines, Boundary Layer Theory and Turbulence, Advanced Power Plant Engineering, Steam Generator Technology, Fluidized Bed Systems, Advanced Thermal Storage Technologies, Cogeneration and Waste Heat Recovery Systems
Students are motivated to gear up their knowledge through fabrication and analysis projects which are related to recent trends in thermal engineering field.
Career Opportunities
There are a lot of career opportunities in this field. Engineers from this field are employed mostly in production firms or they can also opt for managerial and executive positions in public and private sectors. Professionals in this career can also opt for teaching jobs in universities and colleges. This field has lot of opportunities for those who want to pursue a career as a researcher. Thermal engineering is one of the highly remunerative and challenging fields.
Thermal engineers can get job opportunities in both private and public sectors of various types and their work differs by industry and function. Defense and railways require thermal engineers to assist in maintenance and design of their machinery. Thermal engineers also maintain centers for electric motors, pump sets, oil engines and other manufacturing equipments.
