MISSION STATEMENT

The primary mission of TIER is to enhance the understanding of flow, heat transfer and combustion in a gas turbine, and propose innovative solutions for improved design, performance and reliability.

The ongoing research involves improvements to conventional technolgy as well as the use of emerging MEMS technology for sensing and control of aero, heat transfer and combustion processes in the engine.

Education of undergraduate and graduate students and curriculum revisions is a key component of TIER’s mission.

In addition, outreach activities through workshops and information/technology transfer will be emphasized.

TIER is a collaborative effort between academia, gas turbine engine companies, and industries with cogeneration facilities.
