| Course contents :
| - Caracteristics and working condition of sensors - Sensors of temperature, heat flux, pressure, air velocity and humidity. Pyrometry and infrared thermography - Flowmeters (volume and mass, intrusive and non-intrusive) - Calorimetry, measurement of specific heat, latent heat, reaction heat and thermal conductivity. Enthalpy (heat) meters - Sensors installation, physical and measured variables, dynamic and static responses - Data acquisition system : measurement chain, sampling, signal conditionning and transmission - International Temperature Scale (fixed points and standards) - Sensors and measurement equipments calibration : standards, methods and reporting - Uncertainty propagation, instrument selection and experiments planning - Application of statistical methods to data analysis and postprocessing : data rejection, statistical tests and distributions, treatment of redundant data - In situ measurements : consistency of available data, complementary measurements to perform the commissionning and following up of equipments and installations, on-line simulation | |

| Course objective :
| Measurement of thermofluid variables, data postprocessing (statistical methods), application to models validation and systems energy management. | |
|  | | |
| Prerequisites :
| Course MECA019-0 "Transferts de chaleur" | |
|  | | |
| Workshops :
| Practical exercises are solved with the students and some homeworks are suggested. Three training laboratories are proposed and a visit of a manufacture is also organised. | |
|  | | |
| Organization :
| The course consists in an oral presentation illustrated by practical examples. It is given during the first semester. | |

| Assessment :
| A personal home work is asked on a topic chosen in a list. Beside a written report, that work has also to be presented orally. The assessment consists in the personal home work (50%), training laboratories reports (25%) and a written examination in June (25%). | |
