 Thermal Engineering

“Thermal” is related to heat ortemperature.

• Thermal engineering is controlling of heating or
cooling processes in an enclosed environment or
open environment using various equipments.
• It encompasses technologies dealing with heating
and cooling systems, heat and mass transfer and
fluid mechanics.

 Mechanical Design

Mechanical Engineers have to design hardware

or machines so that it shouldn’t break when
being used and so that it can carry the forces
acting on it in a reliable and safe manner.

MATERIALS Design STRESSES
