Piston engines and thermodynamics

The piston engines and thermodynamics laboratories are designed to provide practical instruction in fundamental engineering concepts in the field of energy and heat conversion. They enable theoretical relationships to be clearly understood through experimental investigations. In particular, energy conversion processes can be demonstrated and analysed under real-world conditions. Furthermore, the laboratories offer the opportunity to conduct investigations into heat transfer processes and systematically record the factors influencing them. In this way, they make a significant contribution to the understanding of thermodynamic processes and to the safe handling of piston-engine-based systems in both research and teaching.
