IDEAL GAS LAWS TRAINING SET

The Ideal Gas Laws training set belongs to the fundamentals of thermodynamics and is covered in every thermodynamics training course. This training set performs isothermal changes that also occur at constant volume. Tanks allow for observation of state changes. Air is used as the test gas. In the first tank positioned on the left, the airtight air volume is decreased or increased using a compressor. This results in an isothermal state change. The compressor can also function as a vacuum pump. If the changes occur slowly, the state change takes place at nearly constant temperature. In the second tank positioned on the right, the temperature of the test gas is increased with a controlled electric heater, and the resulting pressure increase is measured. The volume of the enclosed gas remains constant.

GAS TURBINE TRAINING SET

Gas turbines operate based on a Brayton cycle using air as the working fluid. Air under atmospheric conditions passes through a radial fan and reaches high pressure. Fuel is injected into the high-pressure air and ignited, adding energy to the air and producing a high-temperature flow. The resulting high-temperature, high-pressure air enters the turbine, producing shaft work and rotating the turbine. The unused energy in the exhaust gases at the turbine outlet is connected to an electric generator, converting it to electrical power, similar to the thrust generated in a turbojet engine.
