The beginning of the Department activities dates back to 1963, when the Technical Thermodynamics Team and the Laboratory of Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Evening Engineering School in Bialystok were established. On this basis, the Department of Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics was established, which was later transformed into the Department of Thermal Engineering and Agricultural Engineering. After reorganization and location changes, the current Department of Thermal Engineering was established on its basis. Currently, the Department of Thermal Engineering<\/strong> is headed by prof. Dariusz Butrymowicz.<\/p>\n

The Department includes teaching and research laboratories, which cover the basics of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, thermal and refrigeration engineering as well as advanced techniques of supersonic jet ejector refrigeration systems, analysis of fuel properties and multiphase flows.<\/p>\n

Currently the staff of the Department consists of: 4 professors, 2 research associates, 5 assistants, and 1 engineering assistant.<\/p>\n

Research and scientific profile<\/div>\n

Research carried out in the Department concerns the area of \u200b\u200bthermal power engineering, refrigeration, air-conditioning and heat pump technology, as well as chemical and process engineering. In particular, the scope of the past and present research projects covers:<\/p>\n
