Located in the EN-203 room, the laboratory has an area of 90 m², which is divided into 2 areas, an office room and an experimental area dedicated to performing controlled experiments. The laboratory has several workstations, instrumentation benches with different equipment, namely: Arbitrary Function Generators, Oscilloscope with integrated Logic Analyzers, Impedance Analyzers, RLC Bridges, Conductivity Meters, Regulated Power Supplies, Multimeter, DSP, Microscope and FPGA development system. In addition, the laboratory is equipped for maintenance and manufacturing of electronic systems and also has 3D printers that support the group’s most varied projects.
Activities
-
Sensors Research and Development Office
Research scientists are responsible for designing, undertaking and analyzing information from controlled laboratory-based investigations, experiments and trials.
-
Experimental Laboratory
Experimental laboratory activities comprise the design and manufacturing of measurement devices and experimental methodology for fluid characterization, on the other side the development of control systems for various experimental loops to the system level of automation technology.
-
Research & Development
The main activities are the research and development of new devices for multiphase flow investigation. Researchers design, build and evaluate the electronics to be deployed on the investigation target.
-
Evaluation and Calibration of Developed Instruments
The research group design and develop high-level applications for data acquisition and data processing. Fluid characterization and systems are evaluated prior experimental deployment.
