MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY EVALUATION OF THE WIND SPEED IN THE ATMOSPHERIC BOUNDARY LAYER

A method for measuring wind speed by the trajectory of an acoustic package under the influence of air flows in the boundary atmospheric layer is developed. Model equations for measurement components of wind speed evaluation are ob- tained. For each of the components, an equation for the combined standard uncertainty is written, sensitivity coefficients are calcu- lated for input quantities, and uncertainty budgets are constructed. The last can serve as the basis for creating a software tool for measurement uncertainty evaluation.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE ACCELERATION MEASURING METHOD

The existing acceleration measuring methods are analyzed in the article. An overview of modern research on this topic is also provided. A new method of measuring acceleration in the form of an electrical circuit using a stable frequency generator is developed. Among the already known methods, the following three groups are highlighted in the analysis: methods based on compensatory accelerometers with discrete output; methods based on accelerometers with the analog-to-digital converter; measurement techniques, which use mounted elements.

VALIDATION AND VERIFICATION OF MEASUREMENT METHODS IN CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS

The article investigates and analyzes the validation and verification of measurement methods in the clinical diagnostic laboratory. The content and features of validation and verification are revealed. Measurement methods are considered in detail. Each direction of validation and verification of measurement methods is analyzed. The difference between validation and verification is substantiated. Measuring systems are increasingly used in the laboratories of the clinical sector. This means that the responsibility for validation lies mainly with the manufacturer.

UNCERTAINTIES OF THE ESTIMATORS AND PARAMETERS OF DISTRIBUTION IN MEASUREMENTS WITH MULTIPLY OBSERVATIONS

The article shows that the commonly used method of estimating the Type A uncertainty of measurements based on the standard deviation of estimators of population parameters does not meet the definition of uncertainty. For correct determination of the standard uncertainty, it is necessary to use the distribution of the corresponding population parameter at the values of population estimators determined from the experiment but not the probability distribution of the estimator.

STUDIES OF TEMPERATURE-HUMIDITY CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GREENHOUSE CYBER-PHYSICAL SYSTEM

The main information parameters of the microclimate of greenhouse premises are substantiated, in particular: air temperature, relative humidity, illumination of greenhouse premises, soil temperature, soil humidity, the concentration of carbon dioxide. The cyber-physical system for vegetables’ cultivation with the regulation of temperature-humidity-insolation regime contains three subsystems, namely the subsystem of temperature control, the subsystem of humidity control, and the subsystem of insolation control.

Equation of Arithmetic Mean Deviation of Roughness Profile

In order to improve the accuracy of gas flowrate measurement by means of the differential pressure flowmeters, it is necessary to apply equations for determination of coefficients of gas flow equation, which would provide the lowest total relative expanded uncertainty of calculation, and to increase the accuracy of input values measurement in real time. One of these values is the arithmetic mean deviation of roughness profile of pipe internal surface. The equation for calculating the arithmetic mean deviation of roughness profile of pipe internal surface in real time was obtained.

EVALUATING THE STATE OF SANITARY AND HYGIENIC CONDITIONS IN VENTILATED ROOMS

At present, the problem of energy efficiency remains extremely important. Modern building technologies allow you to create houses with the minimum power consumption, using energy efficient external protections, including plastic windows. This leads to a reduction in the heat loss of the room, but there is a danger of reducing the required air exchange.

DEPENDENCE OF DISPERSION OF MEASUREMENT RESULTS ON DURATION OF MEASUREMENT

The results of statistical measurements of the resistance of the metal film resistor are given below. The analysis of the dependencies of the standard deviation on the number of measurements σR(N)envisages a tendency of  raising σR with the number of measurements. It indicates that the obtained results are not independent since fluctuations of them are not of “white” noise type. The dependence of the standard deviation of measurement results onN confirms the results of other studies.
