THERMAL ENGINEERING

Thermal engineering is a constituent subdiscipline of Mechanical engineering that deals with the planning and designing of heating and cooling systems as well as with the maintenance of these heating and cooling systems. Meeting the qualifications to become a thermal engineer begins with earning a bachelor's degree in engineering and gaining several years of relevant experience. Most universities do not offer specific thermal engineering degrees. A Textbook of Thermal Engineering encompasses all theories of the subject thereby making it a must-read for all students of Mechanical Engineering. Topics such as General Thermodynamic Relations and Variable Specific Heat as well as Turbines (M-pulse, Reaction) and Air Compressors have been dealt in detail. In addition to the exhaustive topical coverage, numerous solved examples and chapter-end exercises and questions have been added to make the student understand all aspects of concepts explained.
