Comuterized electrical dynamometer

Abstract

In this project,we take the engine in the internal combustion engine laboratory without a load unit, and it’s difficult to be purchased due to its expensive price, so we design a new load unit, contains an electric generator, thermal resistance with its control panel, and load cell. All these component has been fitted to the engine and the data has been analyzed using computer software. The gathered data have been processed using VDAS and the engine cycle analyzer, also we calculate the engine performance like engine speed, torque, break power, fuel consumption and graph P-V and P-α diagrams.
