Learn Thermal Engineering Book

Description

Thermal Engineering
Thermal engineering is a specialized sub-discipline of mechanical engineering that deals with the movement of heat energy and transfer. The energy can be transferred between two mediums or transformed into other forms of energy.

Thermodynamics
Thermodynamics is the study of the relations between heat, work, temperature, and energy. The laws of thermodynamics describe how the energy in a system changes and whether the system can perform useful work on its surroundings. "There is three Laws of Thermodynamics".

Some systems that use heat transfer and may require a thermal engineer include:
Combustion engines
Compressed air systems
Cooling systems, including for computer chips
Heat exchangers
HVAC
Process-fired heaters
Refrigeration systems
Solar heating
Thermal insulation
Thermal power plants
