National Thermal Engineer Day 2023: History, Significance, Quotes and Celebration

“Thermodynamics is the branch of physics dealing with the relationship between heat and other energy formations” like mechanical, chemical, and electrical and in extend to other forms of energy. Thermal management of electronics is crucial to ensure survival and reliability, yet the thermal professionals who make this practicable only gets a little consideration. So, in the year 2014, to value the profession, the diligence and the hard work of thermal engineers, the “National Thermal Engineer day” is celebrated. Even though, it is encircled with a wide range of applications all over the globe. The term “Thermal” designates anything related to heat. Thus heat deals with the production and convey of heat energy. Some important applications of thermal energy are in the form of thermal power plants, cooling and solar heating appliances and in HVACs (heating ventilation and air conditioning). National Thermal Engineer Day is celebrated on July 24 2023. Check here to know more about the History, Significance, Quotes, Applications and celebrations of Thermal Engineer Day.

History of National Thermal Engineer Day

There are series of circumstances in the history that lead to the evolution of National Thermal Engineer Day,

• The Advanced Thermal Solution, Inc.(ATS) first acknowledged July 24 as the National Thermal Engineer Day in the year 2014 with an intention to highlight the innovation and dedication of thermal industries.
• According to the firm belief of ATS, the effort of thermal industries is often concealed by other sections such as software and electronic sectors. However actuality is that, it is the thermal sector that stern the electronic and software sectors.
• Why is July 24? ATS announced July 24 as the National Thermal Engineer day because this day is well known as the hottest day of the year. Seems ideal for the thermal engineers to celebrate as they work under excess heat.

What is Inc. (ATS)?

• Advanced Thermal Solution, Inc. (ATS) is a firm/company that deals with heat management of electronics by providing efficient thermal energy and electronic package solutions.
• Since 1989, it started as a consulting company with an intention to value the importance of thermal industries. And later recognized as a complete solution for thermal management. 
• ATS is well known for its holdings of more than 450 high performance heat sink, quality test equipment and leading edge R&D.
• Its primary goal is to have successful customer value added services. 

Significance of National Thermal Engineer Day 2023

The thermal/heat energy has a great part in technological advancement and in the development of a country. As we know that electrical energy is produced from thermal energy. Moreover, thermal energy plays a big role in maintenance and renovation of mechanical systems which work with heat transfer into other forms of energy. The top numerous electronic appliances will be of no use if thermal energy was not developed. Thermal engineering has the greatest contribution to the growth of a country.
