The objective of the project is to design and fabricate a low-speed internal combustion engine and associated measurement systems for real time visualization of thermodynamic processes. The prototype engine addresses a significant need in teaching fundamental thermodynamic processes. It provides means to demonstrate typically non-intuitive or abstract processes, i.e. the processes associated with an internal combustion engine. The system is designed to provide maximum control of input variables with both display and computerized acquisition of all parameters. This standalone tabletop system provides real-time class demonstrations to courses such as thermodynamics, and captures the primary input/output information that characterizes the system. The physical demonstration system is used by instructors in high school, technical or university settings.

该项目的目标是设计和制造低速内燃机和相关测量系统，以实现热力学过程的实时可视化。该原型发动机满足了基础热力学过程教学的重大需求。它提供了演示通常非直观或抽象过程（即与内燃机相关的过程）的方法。该系统旨在通过显示和所有参数的计算机化采集来提供对输入变量的最大程度的控制。这个独立的桌面系统为热力学等课程提供实时课堂演示，并捕获表征系统特征的主要输入/输出信息。物理演示系统由高中、技术或大学环境中的教师使用。
