Department of Aerospace Heat Engineering
Major subject : Aerospace Heat Engineering
Direction : Aviation and Cosmonautics

Brief annotation of the major subject :
Students study the fundamental bases of calculation and design of different thermo-technical devices: heat engines, refrigeratory and power plants, systems of the provision of thermal condition and conditioning. More deeply they become acquainted with the gas turbine aircraft engines, temperature control systems of satellites and aircraft, refrigeratory and conditioning installations of ground-based and transport performance.Considerable attention is paid to the mastery of computer programs of thermal design of different devices, to the study of automated systems for control.Students obtain the habits of testing, adjustment and operation of thermo-technical and refrigeratory equipment for different branches of technology, including food industry.

You can be a world-class Aerospace Engineer by studying Aerospace Engineering here, at Kharkiv Aviation Institute, and you can specialize in aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering fields. Specializations of Avionics engineering are taught here. And our quality education is unparallel to anything else.
