The aim of this course is to provide the students with the basic theoretical knowledge and practical skills, which are useful for facing some important technical problems related to experimental measurements of the main physical quantities of mechanical and energetic interest, on engines and fluid machines in general.

As a consequence of this course, each student should be able to understand, design and organize the kind of experimental activities which are usually carried out within the laboratories of the Universities, the Industries, and the Research Institutes.

The students attending this course should be acquainted with basic knowledge of mathematics and physics; electricity and fluid-dynamics; mechanics, thermodynamics and heat-transfer, along with Fluid Machinery in general, such as the Internal Combustion Engines, hydraulic pumps, air impellers, and so on.
