Description:
This is a laboratory that supports the educational program,
particularly through MEG 315 Thermal Engineering Laboratory and MEG
311 Engineering Thermodynamics, as well as the research program. The
ability to perform engine evaluations including overall efficiency
tests as well as emissions determinations exist. In addition,
various component evaluations can take place.
| Function of Facility: |
10% research, 90% instruction |
Major Equipment, Instrumentation and Capabilities:
| |
- 4-cylinder
overhead cam engine with a water-cooled exchanger to remove
heat, a hydraulic absorption dynamometer, emissions measuring
equipment, and a full array of instrumentation
to determine air and fuel flow rates,
temperatures, and pressures. The system is coupled to a
personal computer for logging of data.
Major Areas of Expertise:
Engine efficiency and emissions
determinations.
