- 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 |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| Measurement of thermofluid variables, data postprocessing (statistical methods), application to models validation and systems energy management. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Course MECA019-0 "Transferts de chaleur" |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| 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. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| The course consists in an oral presentation illustrated by practical examples. It is given during the first semester. |

Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| 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%). |
