Category: 1. Thermodynamics

Thermodynamics is the science of energy, including production, storage, transfer and conversion. Thermodynamics, which is a branch of both physics and engineering science, explains the effects of work, heat and energy on a system. To understand thermodynamics, it’s important to understand the scientific law about energy conservation, which states that energy isn’t created nor destroyed…

Thermal engineering involves thermodynamics, liquid mechanics, and heat and mass transfer. This knowledge is important when operating almost any machine. Systems experience heat buildup from mechanical elements and electric circuits. This heat, if not redirected, can damage the system. Thermal engineers work to design the inclusion of fans or liquid circulators to regulate the internal…

Thermal engineering focuses on the transfer of heat, fluid mechanics, and heating and cooling systems, such as those used in the electric power industry, the automobile industry and the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) industry. Thermal engineers design systems that utilize various thermal sources of generated energy to create chemical, mechanical or electrical energy.…
