Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student has the basic knowledge for carrying out thermal measurements and for the use of dynamic simulation software of the "building-plant" system. In particular, the student is able to: - Obtain temperature measurements, heat flow, velocity, heat power, overall heat transfer coefficients; - Calculate the uncertainty coupled to the thermal measurements; - Use commercial dynamic software for modeling "building-plant" systems.
Course contents
Recall of thermal measurements. Theory of error and calculation of the uncertainty associated with a measurement procedure.
The practical temperature scale. Temperature measurement techniques. Thermocouples, thermoresistance meters, NTC. The calibration of the temperature sensors.
Flow measurements in ducts. Methods for measuring volumetric flow and mass flow.
Measurements of thermal energy: heat meters.
Use of ARDUINO for temperature measurements. Arduino programming.
Readings/Bibliography
Lecture notes provided by the teacher and available on virtual.unibo.it
Figliola R S and Beasley D E 2011 Theory and Design for Mechanical Measurements (New York: John Wiley & Sons)
Teaching methods
Each topic is explained both teoretically and experimentally. A series of specific laboratory experiences are scheduled.
Assessment methods
A specific problem will be assigned to each student.
The exam is based on an oral test and the discussion of the solutions proposed for the specific problem assigned to the candidate.
Teaching tools
Lessons are based on didactical material available on IOL.
Slides (powerpoint) and blackboard are used. The didactical laboratory of Fisica Tecnica at Lazzaretto will be used during the course.
