Preface
This book is intended for undergraduate and first year graduate students in various fields
of engineering and science to introduce the design and analysis of thermal energy systems.
This book is also intended as a textbook for a required course in the core curriculum and
for the capstone design course in thermo-fluid science area of the mechanical engineering
degree program.
One of the essential requirements of mechanical engineering curriculum is to provide
strong coverage in the areas of thermal energy and fluid systems. Students are expected
to analyse and design of thermal systems such as conventional and renewable energy
systems, cooling systems and pump-piping systems, and thermo-fluid components such as
heat sinks, thermal interface materials, heat exchangers, condensers, solar collectors, wind
turbines, heat exchanger, piping systems and networks, and able to select and integrate
appropriate heat sinks, pumps, cooling tower, turbine, and compressors in thermal systems
for different applications.
This book can also be adapted as textbook for courses in various other fields of engi-
neering such as chemical engineering, nuclear engineering, and civil engineering. Students
in these programs are expected to have prerequisite knowledge of thermodynamics, fluid
mechanics and heat transfer. Students in other field of studies can also benefit from this
book since the book is comprehensive with the inclusion of the reviews of laws and prin-
ciples of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer. The book will continue to be
useful as a reference book for practicing engineers in the field of energy and power indus-
tries which experience demands for continuous increase in capacity of conventional power
generations as well as demands for developing renewable and alternative energy and power
generation systems.
The book contains essential topics in thermal energy systems and components such as
conventional power generation and cooling systems, renewable energy systems like solar
energy system, heat recovery systems, and thermal heat management. Examples are drawn
from solar energy systems, battery thermal heat management, electrical and electronics
cooling, engine exhaust heat and emissions and manufacturing processes. Contemporary
topics such as steady state simulation and optimization methods are also included. The
book includes number of worked out design problems to demonstrate iterative design
methodologies.

principles.
● Decompose a problem into interdependent sub-problems as appropriate.
● Familiarize with various engineering standards and codes for thermal energy system and
components.
The book evolved from several years of my teaching a course on Design of Thermal Sys-
tems. I believe that the content of the book with comprehensive subject matters will help
students build a stronger grip on the subject of design and analysis of thermal and fluid
systems. I welcome suggestions from interested readers of the book.
I would like to thank my students for theirs comments, feedbacks, and suggestions over
many years. They were the continuous source of my motivation to continue and complete
the book.
I thank all reviewers for their constructive comments. I would like to express my sincere
appreciation to all editors, managers, designers, and editorial staff members at Wiley for
their efforts, supports, understanding and patience during the production of this book.
Special thanks to my children Diya and Ishan for helping me select the cover page of
the book.
I would like to express my deep appreciation to my wife: Srabani and my children: Diya
and Ishan for their continuous support, understanding and patience during preparation
of the manuscript.

Introduction
Mechanical engineering design involves both mechanical and thermal designs. Mechani-
cal design deals with mechanical strength and structural properties of materials; motion
and dynamics; geometrical dimensions and tolerances. Mechanical design requires knowl-
edge of engineering mechanics, materials and strength of materials, vibration, and machine
design. Thermal design deals with the thermal aspects of the components, processes, and
systems, and requires knowledge of thermal science subjects such as thermodynamics, heat
transfer, and fluid mechanics. A design of a product may require thermal design analysis
first followed by mechanical design and are often interrelated. A product design may not
only require mechanical concepts design but may also require knowledge of thermal sci-
ence concepts and thermal design analysis techniques. Often, the product design requires
additional subject areas such as electrical engineering and biomedical engineering, and
multiphysics analysis.

Communication
4. Evaluation: This is the way to prove the functioning of a successful design. This involves
testing of a prototype requiring iterations. Use of sophisticated simulation methods and
design tools may reduce number prototypes to be made, hence reduce cost in the design,
development, and production.
5. Communication: Present the design to others in the form of technical reports and oral
presentations.
Various elements and steps generally used in the design analysis of thermal systems are
demonstrated in Figure 1.2. Column one in the figure shows that a design process starts
with a conceptual design along with some potential options and alternatives. This is
followed by the selection of type of components, selection of ranges for some key variables
and parameters, and setting any constraints. Thermodynamic analysis is carried out to
establish the initial specification and ratings of the major components.
The component-level analysis and design are next carried out to develop the detail specifi-
cation of each component in the system. Cost estimation followed by an economic analysis
are essential to check the feasibility of the design. Iterative refinement can be carried out
by changing the set variables and parameters. A system simulation is required to determine
the expected operating conditions and performance at offload or part-load conditions and
is generally used in the design stage to provide an improved design. Optimization step is
often carried out to ensure the feasibility of the concept based on either the performance or
the cost or both.

Design concept
Nonfunctional: The device does not function. For example, the cooling device is designed,
but produces no cooling effect, and even produces undesirable effects such as irreversible
heating.
Functional: The device performs in the expected manner as it is designed to do so. For
example, a designed cooling device is capable of cooling a water stream.
