ASTB-40 Jet Engine Lab Equipment
The ASTB-40 Jet Engine Lab Equipment is an axial flow gas turbine system designed for practical education. The system consists of a Micro Gas Turbine Engine (MGTE) integrated with sensors and a Data Acquisition System (DAQ). An Electronic Engine Controller continuously monitors the engine to ensure safe operating limits of the engine. Computer-based software is used to manage the engine for real-time data acquisition.
