Scientific research in industrial heat and power
engineering, thermal physics and energy saving at enterprises and social
facilities is carried out by graduate students of the TMPU department on
multifunctional laboratory stands under the guidance of highly qualified
teachers. The equipment for automation of experimental researches of firm
"International Instruments" is used. The results are processed using
the LabView software package. An important traditional area of scientific
work of the department is the physical and mathematical modeling of
hydrodynamic processes, heat and mass transfer in complex technical objects. In
this case, advanced software systems ANSYS FLUENT, PHOENICS and
high-performance computer equipment are used.
