Institute of Process and Fluid Engineering was created by adoption of new organisation structure of the faculty at July 15th 2007. In the institute were joined two former departments: Department of Chemical Machines and Equipments and Department of Hydraulic Machinery.
Institute is currently structured in two departments: Department of process engineering and Department of fluid engineering.
Department of Fluid Engineering
Former "Department of Hydraulic Machinery" is a founding member of the faculty (established at April 1st 1946). First head of the department was Ing. Dr. tech. Alois Hebký (in 1947 inaugurated as the first professor of the department).
Main scope of the research: Fluid power, Pumps, Water turbines, Liquid and Gas Pipeline Systems.
