Fuel Flow Simulation and Fuel Characteristic Analysis in the Combustion System Using Statistical Method

One of the goals of the engineering curricula is to convey an understanding of engineering methods such as analysis and computation, modeling, design and experimental verification.Another goal is to have students gain experience in applying these methods to realistic engineering problems and processes [1].Many students in the industrial engineering department have participated in the ongoing projects at the laboratories of Center for Avanced Energy Systems & Environmental Control Technologies (CAESECT).These students took some courses (ex.Thermodynamics, design & analysis of energy systems, the advanced instrumentation technology) and then they conducted experiments using advanced instrumentation (ex.Laser based PDPA system and PIV system).This paper shows how the students improved their skills of designing the experiment and analyze the data using statistical method.
