Innovative research in the field of thermal fluid dynamics and energetics needs a deep knowledge of measurement systems in heat and mass transfer. Mechanical, thermal and chemical measuring systems are the background in experimental and theoretical research. Doctoral students and researchers need to know how to monitor and control industrial or research apparatus, how to estimate accuracy in experimental research, how to compare theoretical and experimental data. The course aims to provide concepts, instruments and methodologies typical of fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, with a focus on the comparison between theoretical and experimental data. Furthermore, the course will provide real measurement experiences at the lab level, with participation to experimental sessions through and the direct use of measurement instruments (calibration, measurement, analysis of the error).
