Heating or cooling of processes, equipment, or enclosed environments are within the purview of thermal engineering.
One or more of the following disciplines may be involved in solving a particular thermal engineering problem:
* Thermodynamics
* Fluid mechanics
* Heat transfer
* Mass transfer
Thermal engineering may be practiced by mechanical engineers.
One branch of knowledge used frequently in thermal engineering is that of thermofluids.
