The course deals with the application of basic principles, instruments and data acquisition systems used in the experimental R&D in the field of internal combustion engines. Classes will be taught in a form of lectures combined with laboratory exercises and demonstrations.

1. Measuring chain, measurement uncertainties and errors
2. Force, torque and mass measurement
3. Frequency - speed and position
4. Pressure
5. Temperature
6. Flow-rate
7. Vibration and oscillation, basic acoustics, noise and sound
8. Characteristics of combustion engines
9. Engine test-bench integration, automated data acquisition, types of dynamometers
10. Acquisition and evaluation of fast changing pressures, measuring chain description, application of the 1st law of thermodynamics for a basic combustion analysis
11. Exhaust gas composition, environmental impact of combustion engine operation
12. Exhaust gas analysis, gaseous components and particulate matters
13. Legislation base
