Annotation -
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 -

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.

Syllabus -

1. Definition of temperature and its units, temperature scales, International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90).

2. Methods for the accurate measurements of temperature, resistance thermometers, thermocouples, etc., regulation of temperature.

3. Measurements of heat effects, calorimetry.

4. The concept of pressure, generation of pressures, pressure standards.

5. Measurement of pressure, mechanical and electrical transducers, generation and measurement of vacuum.

6. Direct methods for the PVT-measurements, pycnometry.

7. Indirect methods for the PVT-measurements, vibrating-tube densimeter, buoyancy methods, speed-of-sound methods.

8. Analysis of effects influencing density (temperature, pressure, sample purity), propagation of uncertainties, purification, evaluation of purity.

9. Practical exercises: triple point of water, extrapolation to the zero power, calibration of thermometers, calorimetric measurements.

10. Critical analysis and review of a method for the measurement of temperature, heat, pressure and/or density from a given/selected published paper.

11. Seminar - presentation of reviews of published papers. Discussion of the applicability of the methods to the tasks studied by the individual Ph.D. students.
