Thermal Engineering


Why Thermal Engineering

MTech Thermal engineering is a sub-discipline of mechanical engineering concerned with the movement and transmission of heat energy. Energy can be converted into different types or moved across two mediums. 

  • It entails the investigation of design systems that use thermodynamics to deliver heating or cooling by transferring heat or energy through liquids and gases. 
  • It aids in understanding how these systems are built and doing tests to verify appropriate functionality.
  • Candidates enrolled in the programmed receive training in design, development, and simulation, as well as the opportunity to explore new topics in Thermal Energy Systems and related sciences. 
  • The first two semesters of the course are theoretical subjects and laboratory sessions, while the third semester consists of theory and project work and the fourth-semester focus lies on dissertation work.

Why study M.Tech Thermal Engineering?

M.Tech in Thermal Engineering course is designed to meet the needs of modern engineers and reaps several benefits to the students. The following are a few of them:

  • Career Prospects: It allows you to establish a solid understanding of research to continue your professional development in your chosen field of focus. It allows you to apply for specialist roles at a renowned manufacturing company.
  • Developing New Skills: Candidates develop the ability to use their math, science, engineering, and technology expertise. Understand, analyze, create, and solve issues related to the application of technology in a variety of industrial contexts in detail.  It also entails developing, choosing, and implementing relevant approaches, resources, modern engineering, and information technology tools to tackle complex engineering problems.
  • More Exposure: Engineering Equipment Industries, Nuclear Power Stations, Pollution Control Agencies, Space Research Organization, Oil Exploration and Refining, Thermal Power Stations, Energy Conservation Department, and other fields can readily find career possibilities after earning a degree in this profession.

Scope of the Course:

After completing an M.Tech in Thermal Engineering, candidates will have access to a far wider range of job opportunities. The average salary is determined by criteria such as experience, job type, and geographic area. Entry-level candidates are offered lesser salaries than experienced candidates. However, depending on the work type and experience, it can range from INR 3 to 10 LPA.

Some of the Job profiles have been discussed below along with their average salary.

Job Profile

Job Description

Project Engineer

Technical or engineering projects are managed by a Project Engineer. They have direct responsibility for budgeting, staffing, and project planning, and they deal with stakeholders at all levels.

Safety Engineer

A Safety Engineer is a person employed by a company or agency who oversees making the worksite safe for all company employees and ensuring that national health and safety requirements, as well as those set by the firm or local government, are followed.

Maintenance Engineer

The work of maintenance engineers entails inspecting, repairing, and maintaining machinery, equipment, systems, and infrastructures. Industrial maintenance experts guarantee that machinery and equipment work smoothly and reliably. Most of their work includes planning and performing planned maintenance.

Lecturer

Planning, preparation, and research for a talk. Preparing instructional time examining and grading pupils' work promoting personal growth through a tutorial or pastoral activities.

Thermal Engineer

Thermal Engineers create systems that use thermodynamics to transmit heat or energy via liquids and gases to provide heating and cooling. They also build these systems and test them to verify that they work properly.
