Contents of lectures: Measuring methods and principles used in modern sensors for measuring temperature, pressure, flow, level and for measuring the composition of the liquid and gaseous mixtures; methods of signal processing from sensors. Laboratory exercises: IR-thermography, pressure sensors, measuring of heat consumption, measuring concentrations of gases and vapors in the air, including emission combustion process, signal processing sensors and wireless sensors. According to individual assignments, students will create a project of technological measurements.
Aim of the course -
Last update: Kadlec Karel doc. Ing. CSc. (22.07.2013)

Lectures:

Study texts for the lectures are available on the Internet.

Laboratory exercises:

Textbooks and manuals for laboratory work are available on the Internet.

Before beginning work, students are tested in writing from knowledge of the issue.

Individual project:

Students will prepare individual project with the theme of technological measurements. The project assignment is based on the specialization the student. Presentation and defense of the project will take place during the exam test.

Requirements to the exam -
Last update: Kadlec Karel doc. Ing. CSc. (22.07.2013)

Before beginning any laboratory work, students are tested in writing.

The protocol for the laboratory work writing and casting process in electronic form within a week after completion of the work.

Successful completion of all laboratory work is a prerequisite for obtaining credit.

The exam is oral or written. A separate part of the test is to present and defend the project of technological measurements according to individual specifications. The questions in the exam include issues by syllabus and for study are sufficient background materials for lectures.
