From refrigerators and air conditioners to waste heat recovery systems and steam turbines, thermal engineering has influenced every area of life. Furthermore, growing environmental demands are intensifying the focus on the core goal of thermal engineering – that of energy modelling and efficiency.
This paper starts by surveying the existing calculations tools on the market with respect to their suitability for thermal engineering. It then demonstrates how the features in Maple support the analytical demands of thermal engineering, and illustrates how Maple can be used to deploy and document thermal engineering calculations. It also explores thermodynamic visualization with Maple.
Engineering industry reacts to Reeves' budget
I´d have to say - ´help´ - in the longer term. It is well recognised that productivity in the UK lags well behind our major industrial competitors and...
