👉 Thermal engineering, also known as thermal systems engineering, involves the design, analysis, and optimization of systems that manage heat transfer and thermal energy within various applications, from industrial processes to electronic devices and buildings. It focuses on understanding heat transfer mechanisms—conduction, convection, and radiation—and applying this knowledge to improve efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and enhance performance. Thermal engineers use mathematical models, simulations, and experimental techniques to design systems that can effectively control temperature, minimize thermal losses, and maximize heat utilization. This field is crucial in developing sustainable technologies, improving energy efficiency, and ensuring the safe operation of high-temperature processes.
