Description:
Activities : Research focused on the study, simulation, and analysis of mechanical power generation devices in the presence of temperature differentials; teaching, research, and outreach activities in the areas of thermal machines and fuels and lubricants associated with these machines; determination of the ignition capacity of various fuels (gasoline, ethanol, diesel oil, biodiesel, vegetable oil, and mixtures of these fuels) through their octane number and cetane number, respectively.
Infrastructure : Four engine test benches and a chassis dynamometer; recently expanded laboratory structure with four new benches, equipped with modern and standardized instrumentation within the Petrobras Vehicle Development Network, for conducting fuel and lubricant tests for medium-speed engines and lubricant tests for automotive engines.
Equipment : Chassis dynamometer for testing vehicle performance and emissions; variable compression ratio CFR engines; dynamometer benches for Otto and Diesel engines for conducting performance, emissions and durability tests; data acquisition system and appropriate instrumentation; exhaust gas analyzers; BUNKER fuel testing laboratory and lubricating oils for medium-speed marine and thermoelectric engines; thermal machine benches for undergraduate and postgraduate teaching; parallel Linux cluster with single access via one of the computers, also accessible via the internet through a secure connection.
