About Mechanical (Thermal Engineering)

Mechanical, thermal engineering can be stipulated as the specified discipline of mechanical engineering and science that deals with the transformation of energy and movement of heat. Energy can be transferred between two mediums or one form to other forms. With the help of thermal engineering, engineers can improve the proficiency and efficacy of thermal power plants such as refrigeration systems, solar thermal, heat exchangers, etc.  As the world's population increases day by day, resulting in high energy demand, thermal engineering plays a crucial role in replacing fossil fuels with renewable and sustainable energy sources. Many global issues related to the environment and sustainability makes it an inevitable branch of engineering and science.

What is Mechanical (Thermal Engineering)?

Thermal engineering is a full-time two-year course that is designed in a way that helps students in the real-time application of thermodynamics concepts, fluid dynamics concepts, cryogenic engineering, air conditioning, etc. Sometimes it is believed that thermal engineering is based only on thermodynamics, but it's not. It includes heat transfer, fluid dynamics, mass transfer, refrigeration, and so many other topics. It makes an engineer efficient with designing, development, and stimulation, enabling them to explore untouched areas in thermal engineering and allied sciences. It can be said vital branch of engineering for designing various types of machinery. The course is designed to impart both theory and practical knowledge to students in fluid dynamics, heat transfer, thermal designing, and the development of various components. The core curriculum of the course comprises basics and advanced subjects of mechanical engineering such as thermodynamics, computational fluid dynamics, heat transfer, mass transfer, advanced power generation system, fire dynamics and engineering, advanced thermal designing, fuels & combustion, gas dynamics, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and experiments in thermal designing with advanced computational methods. The last semester of this course is fully dedicated to dissertation or project work that allows students to solve on-field problems with the real-time application of thermodynamics concepts. During the course, students also learn to use the latest fluid dynamics software packages such as CFX, AutoCAD, Star CCMe, Ansys 13.0, SolidWorks, solid edge, Natron, Abaqus, etc.  

Eligibility and Career in Mechanical (Thermal Engineering)

Mechanical, thermal engineering is a two-year program divided into four semesters for post-graduate students, approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), New Delhi. It emphasizes the real-time application of thermal engineering concepts to solve emerging problems in the world. Candidates who are willing to pursue this course must have passed their bachelor's degree in engineering and equivalent field related to science with a minimum of 55%-60% of marks in aggregate. The universities prefer candidates with a valid GATE score or experience in a relevant field. As this is a very challenging domain of engineering field thus plenty of opportunities are available for thermal engineers both in government and private sector or national or international markets. Thermal engineers can provide services in different sectors such as railways, defence, colleges & universities, aeronautical sector, automobile, and transportation sector, petroleum industry, power plant industry as site engineers, plant chemist, trainee planner, maintenance engineer, field service engineer, consultant, manager, etc.  Skilled and professional thermal engineers get hired by major recruiters like TATA Motors, Hindustan Motors, TCS Ltd, Ashok Leyland, etc., even before completing their program.
