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 apparatus 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
