Course Objectives
The main objective of the course is to provide knowledge to the students for the thermal management requirements / problems of the defence systems and thermal system design & simulation for the various air, land & naval defence systems utilized under different environmental conditions.
Course Outcomes:
At the end of the course the student should be able to
- Understand thermal design and simulations for system design.
- Carry out CFD simulations, design of heat exchangers, refrigeration.
- Understand the concept of thermal management requirement & design for defence systems.
