GITSE

Thermal Engineering and Energy Systems Group

The Thermal Engineering and Energy Systems group (GITSE) is one of the institute's research groups that has been recognized as a "Consolidated Research Group" and a "Reference Research Group" by the Government of Aragon.

His academic activity takes place at the School of Engineering and Architecture (EINA) of the University of Zaragoza, imparting all the knowledge related to the field of thermal engineering, such as thermodynamics, heat transfer, air conditioning systems, renewable energies, motors. thermal, turbomachinery, poligeneration, energy optimization and combustion.
