University of Gonder Mechanical Engineering Department

2. Thermal and Aerospace Engineering

Thermal engineering is a branch of engineering that applies scientific knowledge to the design,
manufacturing and operation of thermal and flow equipment’s and systems. The fundamental principles of thermal engineering apply to all equipment’s and systems that involve, heat generation, heat transfer,cooling, heating, and fluid flow such as pumps, compressors, turbines, fans, blowers, boilers, refrigerators,air conditioners and so on. The fundamental mechanical engineering courses are supplemented with additional fluid mechanics courses to include compressible flow and aerodynamics; additional thermodynamics, turbo machinery, refrigeration engineering, air conditioning engineering, design of heat exchangers and the likes.
