Introduction - M. Tech in Thermal Engineering
Thermal Engineering is a sub-category of Mechanical Engineering and it deals with the transfer and movement of heat energy. It 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. The M. Tech in Thermal Engineering course is one of the most well-established of its kind at Swarrnim Startup and Innovation University, and it aims to provide our students with the tools, knowledge, and understanding of this broad-based discipline that demands expertise in many diverse topics. The course provides the practical and theoretical expertise in thermal engineering, including cryogenics, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, heat and mass transfer, renewable power, thermal system design, refrigeration system design, integrated solar thermal systems, advances in energy conversion systems, experimental methods in thermal engineering, energy audit and management, green building, micro- and nanofluidics, and more. The programme also covers computational techniques in heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and other areas, along with their practical applications. As per the current requirement of Industries, the curriculum is designed by blending the course contents from traditional engineering fields with the demands of contemporary practices. Swarm Institute of Technology aims to train the students by utilizing modern tools such as statistical data analysis, process optimization, element analysis, simulation, etc. Throughout the course duration, the prime objective of faculties is to concentrate on practical problems encountered in the industry.
Key Features
M. Tech in an Thermal Engineering focuses the economics involved in the processes and components surrounding heat generation, transfer, and control. It enhances the learning level for solving the system, process, and component issues with cost-effectiveness. The applications in which thermal engineering is applied, are Electronics and electrical systems and components, HVAC systems in commercial, residential, and industrial structures – small to large scale, Pump, heat exchanger, and boiler design, Aerospace components and systems, Defense and military equipment, Renewable energy systems, etc. The Thermal Engineering program provides a range of its courses for students who are currently in or planning to enter the field of Thermal Engineering. Many processing plants use machines that utilize heat transfer. The thermal engineer is responsible for ensuring the right amount of energy is transferred for the machine's operation. Too much energy and the components could overheat and fail. Too little energy and the whole machine could shut down. Graduates from Thermal Engineering can take advantage of the program in case they wish to continue their studies. The program is backed by Swarrnim Incubation Center. The center is responsible for supporting all the startup ideas generated within the university. The excellent infrastructure and network of the center guide students here to realize their dreams.

Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest and oldest branches of engineering. Mechanical engineers are involved with the design, analysis, testing, control, manufacturing, operation, and maintenance of mechanical systems - that is, any system that has a moving part. The curriculum allows students to study the three necessary aspects of thermal engineering: thermodynamics, liquid mechanics, and heat and mass transfer. Thermal engineers use their background in thermodynamics to create, maintain, or repair mechanical systems. The systems usually involve a process that transfers heat energy into or out of other forms of energy. The heat is typically transferred through fluids, such as liquids or gasses, so a strong knowledge of fluid dynamics is important. They also work on systems of various scales, from extremely large, such as an airplane engine or industrial heater, to very small, such as within electronics. Sometimes thermal engineers work on theoretical projects rather than actually building or repairing completed systems. Activities and responsibilities may include:
Typical technologies in which mechanical engineers find employment are manufacturing processes, materials engineering, energy conversion and conservation systems, and mechanical design. In addition to employment in industry, mechanical engineers also work in government, management, consulting, and academic organizations.
