Synopsis:

How to measure temperature (thermocouples, thermistors, optical fibres, radiation thermometers), pressure transducers (and strain gauges), displacement and deformation (inductive probes, optical, cross correlation using multiple camera systems), flowrate (nozzles, turbines, electromagnetic, ultrasound, Coriolis forces).

How to transfer and record data in PC. Interfaces and software (Labview).

Data processing and basic statistics. Evaluation of standard deviation of predicted quantities knowing errors of individual measurements (e.g. evaluate error of viscosity knowing error of measured rotational speed and torque of rotational rheometer). Analysis of measuring chains.

Regression analysis of recorded data (identification of mathematical models).

Measurement and evaluation of process characteristics, material and energy balances on selected process equipments in the pilot hall and laboratories of the Department.
