This course for Ph.D. students provides the detailed overview on the principes of measurements of temperature, pressure, volume/density, thermal quantities, with emphasis on the methods for precise measurements of these quantities. Thus, the Ph.D. students will gain the knowledge of the precise measuring methods needed for the description of the thermodynamics of systems at the scientific level.
Aim of the course -
Last update: Vopička Ondřej doc. Ing. Ph.D. (19.05.2019)

Ph.D. students will:

1. know methods for the precise measurement of temperature (according to ITS-90), pressure, volume/density, and thermal properties,

2. be able to critically choose measuring methods for scientific and industrial applications,

3. know the pricniples of regulations and be able to propose and modify thermal regulation circuits.
