Basic lines of Institute’s activities are:
- thermophysical studies of processes in heat power equipment while using traditional and renewable energy and developing methods to improve equipment efficiency, reliability and environment safety;
- refining heat-transfer theory and its application to improve the efficiency of processes of heat transfer and utilization in machines and apparata of new facilities;
- refining the theory of heat and mass transfer to improve the efficiency of available thermal technologies and develop radically new energy-efficient and resource-saving ones;
- refining the theory of measuring thermal values and its application in developing novel thermophysical devices and systems to improve the metrological provision of operating power and other thermal-engineering equipment.
The following science schools originated and work at the Institute:
‘Heat-and-mass transfer in heat technologies’ (founded by NAS academicians O. O. Kremniov and A. A. Dolinsky);
‘Thermophysical instrument-making’ (founded by NAS corresponding member O. A. Geraschenko).
The Institute offers for cooperative commercialization:
