The Department of Aerospace Thermal Engineering offers training in several educational directions:

Electrical Engineering (14), specialty 144 Thermal Power Engineering, educational program Computer-Integrated Technologies for Energy Systems Design (Bachelor).

Engineering, Manufacturing, and Construction (G), specialty G4 Power Generation, educational program Engineering and Energy Efficiency in Thermal Power Engineering, specialization G4.02 Thermal Power Engineering (Bachelor).

Engineering, Manufacturing, and Construction (G), specialty G4 Power Generation, educational program Engineering and Operation of Thermal Power Systems, specialization G4.02 Thermal Power Engineering (Master).

The department has 9 faculty members, including 2 Doctors of Technical Sciences, Professors, 4 Candidates of Technical Sciences, Associate Professors, 1 Senior Lecturer, and 1 Assistant.

Students begin their studies with fundamental courses in chemistry, physics, higher mathematics, engineering graphics, and computer modeling. They then progress to specialized disciplines forming their expertise in thermal power engineering, including:

Technical thermodynamics

Gas dynamics

Heat and mass transfer

Heat exchange apparatus

Thermotechnical processes and installations

Thermal measurements and instruments

Computer modeling of thermal physics problems

Thermophysical properties of materials

Energy auditing and energy management

Students actively participate in the department’s research activities, which are carried out for domestic and international companies. These projects include:

Design of thermal control systems for spacecraft

Heating and cooling systems

Energy saving and efficiency improvement of industrial processes

Use of alternative energy sources

Research at the department also involves designing aerospace equipment, studying multicomponent two-phase heat carriers, and analyzing the thermomechanical state of energy facilities.

The results of the department’s work have been applied in international and domestic projects, such as:

Innovative two-phase thermal control system of the SES-17 telecommunications satellite

Methodology for modeling bearing chambers of aircraft engines

Cooling systems of advanced aircraft engines using loop heat pipes

Methodology for modeling hydrogen fuel systems for aircraft engines
