Description: 
The staff of the Institute's Chair of Turbine Construction has made 
design and construction recommendations for stationary and transport gas and 
steam turbines. In their thermodynamic and aerodynamic investigations under 
various conditions, they have analyzed the effect of various design measures 
on the efficiency of turbine stages. Among the recommendations given were 
improvements for heat exchangers, condensing systems, regenerators, and 
control systems. 
The Institute has conducted theoretical research on stresses, com- 
pression, impact friction, and metal fatigue. The Department of Installation 
and Technology of Welding Industry has been active in improving electric, 
gas, and automatic welding methods. The welding of cast iron and structural 
changes resulting from it have also been investigated. Some material 
research has also been conducted, including the effects of heat treatment 
on wear resistance and deoxidation of steel, and the optimum design of 
drilis to avoid deformation in railway-axle steel. 
The Institute periodically publishes a Trudy. 
The courses available at the Institute include machine building, 
metal-cutting tools, and instruments, casting machinery and processes, 
welding, railway-car building, turbine construction, and locomotive 
building.
