Performance and emission measurements are performed on a diesel engine in the engine test unit shown in Figure 1. This unit is used in the application of related undergraduate courses, but students can also use this unit under supervision in applied projects within the scope of project courses. Soot measurement (Figure 2) and gas analysis (Figures 3 and 4) can be performed.

In addition, the seed crushing device (Figure 5), oil extraction unit (Figure 6) and biodiesel reactor (Figure 7) used in alternative fuel production studies can be used in undergraduate project courses. Temperature dependent dynamic viscosities of liquids can be measured with the setup shown in Figure 8.
