Overview
Lehigh's Tom Jackson Engines Lab currently supports undergraduate education that includes Junior and Senior lab courses as well as a rotating and reciprocating engine elective for both undergraduate and graduate students. The lab currently relies on Superflow and Go Power dynamometers for engine control and combination of Superflow and LabView data acquisition. Students can operate engines remotely in our control room and take measurements on a:
-
4-cylinder, 4 stroke, spark ignited passenger car engine
-
8-cylinder, 4 stroke, spark ignited twin turbocharged and intercooled V8 engine with user programmable engine management system
-
1-cylinder, 4 stroke, compression ignition diesel engine
Lab activities also include Formula SAE engine testing and development.
