The Laboratory for Energy Conversion (LEC) formerly known as Turbomachinery Laboratory (LSM) was founded in 1892 by Aurel Boleslav Stodola. As part of the Federal Institute of Technology Zurich ( ETH). The laboratory has been headed by some of the most prominent mechanical engineers in the history of turbomachinery.
The current research projects at LEC cover the fields of:
Amongst many noted achievements, LEC has recently developed the FENT probe. [1] This probe, for the first time, enables measurement of entropy generation in Turbomachinery. The highly rated peer-review journal Measurement Science and Technology recognised [2] the development of this probe as the most outstanding contribution in the field of fluid mechanics in 2008.
