Department of ME

About

The energy efficiency of thermal systems is a major focus of industries around the world. Specialization in Thermal Engineering provides an edge to the students who want to pursue careers in the energy linked industries viz. power, HVAC, renewable energy, design of internal combustion engines, energy storage, combustion, research and development.

M.Tech ME with specialization in Thermal Engineering offers  students a deeper knowledge of mathematics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, a design of thermal systems and many other thermal engineering concepts. Students are supposed to carry out research work in thermal engineering. Awareness about current state-of-the-art. Students develop an eye for detail, a methodical work process and creative problem solving ability.

Market Trends of Thermal Engineering

• The thermal market is expected to grow at 5% CGR from 2019 to 2027 [Transparency Market Research]
• Exponential growth of the IT & telecommunications sector has indirectly led to a spurt in the demand for thermal products.
• HVAC cooling systems that use thermal products find wide use for cooling servers and computers
• Food production, packaging, shipping, and distribution are some energy-hungry operations in the food and beverage sector.
