THERMAL AND FLUIDS ENGINEERING

DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

As the energy and process sector in India is in a boom, the need of the
hour is engineers with strong background in thermal and fluid sciences capable
of carrying out conceptual design. The program is aimed at providing sufficient
theoretical, computational and experimental knowledge in the thermal and fluid
sciences. It also encapsulates simulation and experimental skills applied to IC
engines, power plant, aerospace and gas turbines research. The program is
designed to equip students to perform design related to linear and nonlinear
steady state/ transient heat transfer, steady and unsteady fluid flow, multiphase
flows, fluid structure interactions viz., estimation of thermal and pressure loads
and coupled field analysis. The program provides required numerical simulation
techniques for design and analysis of equipment like gas turbines and
accessories, steam turbines and reactor pipes, heat exchangers, compressors,
turbines, pumps, propellers, rotor stator interactions, flow separators, inlet
manifolds, volutes, turbo chargers etc. The course also introduces the student to
experimental techniques like flow visualization, combustion diagnostics, particle
characterization and other recent imaging techniques adopted in the field of
thermal research.

Students will be eligible for the post of design engineers in industries

related thermal and fluid sciences and also suitable for R&D organizations.
