Principles of Thermal Engineering#
Thermal enginnering is a discipline dealing with applications and systems for energy conversion and transfer through work and heat, usually involving other branches or field in physics/engineering, like thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, mass transfer, chemistry,…
Physical processes: continuum (usaully fluid) mechanics, mass and heat transfer, chemistry,…
Applications: power plants, heat engines (direct cycles); refrigerator systems (inverse cycles); heat exchangers; heating; heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC); thermal insulation,…
