Projects and Major Missions

• The Research Department of Combustion and Heat Transfer, supported by the disciplines of aerospace science and technology, as well as power engineering and engineering thermophysics, centers on the nation's key strategic needs in aero engines and gas turbines.

• The department specializes in thermal science research, concentrating on critical technologies for advanced gas turbines, combined aerospace propulsion, and low-carbon aero engines.

• Focusing on frontiers in combustion and heat transfer, the department integrates fundamental research with engineering practice, leading major projects such as national key projects, national defense projects, and national natural science foundation projects. Additionally, the department takes part in international and industrial collaborative projects.

• The department's cutting-edge research has yielded a substantial body of influential publications, including multiple highly-cited papers in leading thermal science and engineering journals, authorized hundreds of patents and software copyrights, and received multiple science and technology progress awards at provincial and ministerial levels.
