After successful completion of the course, students are able to:

• describe and apply the most important measurement methods in the field of thermal turbomachinery (pneumatic probe measurement, temperature measurement)
• use the most suited method to for measurement based on the application and the physical measurement method
• record and to analyse test data with the help of computers

The main topic of this lecture is the conduction of practical measurements on thermal turbomachines or on some of their components. Some possible exercises are for example: Performance map of a vehicular gas turbine. Pneumatic probe measurements downstream of a linear turbine cascade. Turbine blade pressure distribution. Hot wire anemometry. Temperature measurement in air at high speed. Forced vibrations of a steam turbine blade. The measurements will be undertaken in the laboratory of the institute. The students have the opportunity to operate the various instruments and to collect the measured quantities. Subsequent steps are the data reduction and the documentation of the measurements.

Introduction to the respective measuring method, determination of measurement values

This course consists of three parts, all are done on the same day.
