FPP graduation projects are diverse in nature to satisfy the ambitions and fit the skills of different students
• All provide a good balance of basic science and applied technology
• Some are more conceptual design oriented• Some are more computational and simulation based • Some focus on the system to be designed• Some focus on the enabling design methods• Some require an experimental approach• Most of them are a combination of the above

The Clean Combustion Lab &
the Laser Diagnostic and Remote Sensing Lab
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The Clean Combustion Lab is aimed at understanding, designing and exploring clean combustion technologies for next generation of aero engines. The lab is equipped with a continuous air supply and gas mixtures to test various combinations of fuels. The test rig is also equipped with an air preheater to preheat the air to higher temperatures in order to simulate the temperatures encountered in aero engines. Currently, the test rig is operated at atmospheric pressures, but will be extended to operate at moderate pressures of 5 bars in the future. One of the main combustion technologies being investigated in the Clean Combustion Lab is the flameless combustion. Effort is being directed to understand this novel combustion phenomena better and to implement this technology in the future generation of aircraft engines. The laser diagnostics and remote sensing laboratory contains imaging spectrometers and an ultrafast amplifier system which is producing intense high-peak power laser pulses (~0.2 TW) on a femtosecond- and picosecond timescale. These optical instruments allows for in-situ determination of scalars (e.g. temperature and mixture composition) in chemically reacting flows and to study critical mechanisms implementing renewable high-energy carriers in aero-propulsion.

The ORCHID test rig
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The ORCHID: organic Rankine cycle (ORC) hybrid integrated device is a unique test rig that implements two test sections fed by an ORC balance of plant. One test section allows one to perform gas dynamic experiments on supersonic expansions of dense organic vapors. In these thermodynamic conditions, organic vapor flows are affected by non-ideal compressible fluid dynamic effects, rather unexplored phenomena. Understanding and measuring these effects, like, for example, complex flow fields with shock waves, is of paramount importance for the design of ORC turbines and other industrial processes. Visual and thermophysical measurements are also used for the validation of in-house CFD codes. The other test section will host a fully instrumented 10 kW ORC high-speed turbine which has been designed by the Propulsion and Power team. Measurements campaigns will provide much needed information for the validation of design methods for these unconventional turbines for thermal energy harvesting. These studies are also funded by companies that are developing waste heat recovery systems for the automotive and the aerospace sector.

Presenter
Presentation Notes
The Aircraft Manufacturing Laboratory (AML) is a newly created facility belonging to the Master course with the same name. In the AML a real aircraft is being build by students taking the course. The setup is such that all processes usually in place in an aircraft factory are copied. That means that the building is executed in a controlled environment where staff, materials, production processes, and tools are all certified. The AML therefore is a closed facility with limited access. Students taking this course are trained for a position in the aircraft manufacturing industry but can also apply their knowledge and skills in the Scaled Flight Test Laboratory which is adjacent to the AML.

Scaled Flight Testing Lab
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The Scaled Flight Testing Laboratory (SFTL) is a 100 square-meter laboratory where scaled models of existing and new aircraft can be manufactured prior to flight testing. On roughly 100 square meters, the SFTL provides the space to physically build subcomponents out of composite materials and assemble them into a complete aircraft. Apart from the necessary hand tools and workbenches to do this, it also contains a 3.5 m, 7-axis portable coordinate measuring machine to ensure proper positioning of components during the manufacturing and assembly process. Furthermore, a laser scanning probe is present that can be connected to this machine to accurately measure surface coordinates to assess the manufacturing precision.
