Design of thermal systems is no longer primarily an art and experience but it has now shifted to a rigorous optimization procedure, the commercial software tools are being routinely used to the best possible design under the conditions at hand. Thermal system design and analysis continues to develop. The number of workers is growing, technical papers appear in greater numbers, and new textbooks are being written. Many concepts like use of information flow diagrams to simplify the simulation procedure, novel optimization methods suitable for thermal system simulation, etc. have been developed. Researchers have developed detailed simulation procedures for equipment used in refrigeration systems. Also thermal power plants and novel desiccant-based cooling systems have been developed over the years. This paper discusses briefly the procedures for thermal systems design, simulation and optimization developed over the decades.
