Internal Combustion Engines Laboratory
Research involving internal combustion engines, alternative fules, and emissions.
Mechanical Testing and Evaluation Laboratory (MTEL)
The Mechanical Testing and Evaluation Laboratory (MTEL) was developed in 1996 with the mission of providing broad-based state-of-the-art experimental support in the area of deformation, stress, strain, and failure analysis of traditional and advanced engineering materials, components and structures.
Nonlinear Controls
This site offers a comparative look at several methods for developing non linear control laws for a variety of under actuated mechanical systems and was created with support from the National Science Foundation.
Radiation Detection Instructional Laboratory
Provides fundamental and advanced instruction on the design and use of various radiation detectors and spectrometers. Instruction includes fundamental and advanced measurements of beta particles, alpha particles, gamma rays, and neutrons.
Radiation Measurement Applications Laboratory
The Radiation Measurement Applications Laboratory (RMAL) provides facilities to perform research and to conduct teaching experiments concerning the application of radiation to the measurement of physical properties of matter.
Refrigeration Laboratory
The focus of the refrigeration lab at Kansas State University is to aid the refrigeration and air-conditioning industry in the transition from CFC-11, CFC-12 and HCFC-22 to new, environmentally acceptable refrigerants.
