Theory, Fabrication and Characterization of Micromachined Electrolytic Solution Conductivity Sensors
Thin-film nickel RTD has a thickness dependent temperature coefficient that is lower than the bulk material due to free electron boundary scattering. Four-wire resistance measurements are used to eliminate the effect of lead resistance for the RTD fabricated on the probe tip. The RTD integrated on …

An Approach to Thermocouple Temperature Measurements that Reduces Uncertainties Associated with Radiative Corrections
<p>Obtaining accurate temperature measurements in flame environments with thermocouples is extremely challenging due to the effects of radiative heat loss. These losses are difficult to quantify and often cannot be corrected for or minimized without sacrificing spatial resolution. In this work, a …

Identification of damage in composite materials using thermoelastic stress analysis
… proposed requires a means of calibrating and temperature<br/>correcting the thermoelastic signal; these are developed and presented in this thesis.<br/><br/>The thermoelastic theory for calibrating thermoelastic data from orthotropic bodies has<br/>traditionally been based on a stress …

Temperature dependent physical properties of biodiesel and its blends with diesel fuel
The objective of this study was to determine the temperature dependence of the kinematic viscosity and specific gravity of biodiesel and its blends with Number 1 and Number 2 diesel fuels at 75%, 50%, and 20% percentages of biodiesel. In order to measure the physical properties, ASTM standard test …

Validation of FWD Testing Results at the Virginia Smart Road: Theoretically and by Instrument Responses
… among pavement sections; 3) to develop a temperature correction model for the backcalculated HMA resilient moduli; 4) to define an appropriate backcalculation approach and compare the four widely used software approaches; and 5) to correlate backcalculated and laboratory measured moduli. …

Development and testing of real-time tunable diode laser based water vapor measurement system
… the absorbance values after accounting for temperature correction based on local temperatures monitored using thermocouples. Water vapor concentration in training fire scenarios carried out in three different structures, i.e metal container, concrete and drywall were studied. The effect of …

Schwerebeschleunigungen Kühler Sterne
… (the Hipparcos satellite mission) on a given temperature scale. With the exception of the metal-rich standard star Procyon for which a mild temperature correction is needed to fulfil the ionization balance, excellent consistency is obtained for the metal-poor calibration stars in various …

The Effect of Pavement Temperature on Frictional Properties of Pavement Surfaces at the Virginia Smart Road
… factors, such as traffic, rainfall, and temperature. Since both the tire rubber and the HMA pavement surface are viscoelastic materials, which are physically sensitive to temperature changes, temperature should affect the measured frictional properties. Although several researchers have …

Measuring of noise and wearing of quiet surfaces
… standard, measurements can be taken when the air temperature is 5-30 °C. It was noticed that in Finland there is a seasonal variation in the results. The variation is smaller during the summer months. That is why it was suggested that in Finland the measurements should be taken during June, July …

Evaluation and prediction of hydrology and nitrate-nitrogen transport in tile-drained watersheds
… of an irreducible nutrient concentration and temperature correction factor. The NO3-N removal rate (NSETLR) is the critical input parameter for NO3-N reduction and strongly influences model performance. Isolating the KS wetland from the watershed resulted in an overall NSE of 0.98 and PBIAS of …
