Features: This book systematically elaborates on testing techniques in thermal energy and power engineering, including error analysis and data processing, the static and dynamic characteristics of measurement devices, the measurement of basic thermal parameters (temperature, pressure, flow rate), and the determination of specialized thermal parameters (thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, heat flux density). Relevant chapters provide detailed introductions to basic thermal testing instruments, common thermal testing instruments, and typical thermal testing systems. Chapter 10 features fundamental thermal engineering experiments, which specifically introduce related testing methods and can be used for teaching experiments or as references for engineering professionals. This book is suitable for engineering professionals and students in thermal energy engineering, refrigeration engineering, internal combustion engines, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), mechanical manufacturing, chemical machinery, petroleum storage and transportation, food processing, and related fields. Thermal and power engineering disciplines include HVAC, refrigeration engineering, household appliances, artificial environments, power engineering and equipment, internal combustion engines, and vehicle engineering. In terms of sensors, the measurement of thermal parameters such as temperature, heat flux, and thermal conductivity is a unique aspect of these disciplines. This book is written for engineering professionals, researchers, and university students in these fields, with content arranged to balance generality and specialized features. Chapter 2 systematically introduces error analysis and data processing of testing data, Chapter 3 covers concepts of testing systems and methods for representing testing signals, Chapters 4 to 6 focus on the measurement of basic thermal parameters, and Chapters 7 to 9 deal with the determination of specialized thermal parameters. To demonstrate practical thermal parameter measurement systems and methods, Chapter 10 specifically introduces several thermal parameter experimental systems, which can be used for teaching experiments or as references for engineering professionals. This book systematically elaborates on testing techniques in thermal energy and power engineering, including error analysis and data processing, the static and dynamic characteristics of measurement devices, the measurement of basic thermal parameters, and the determination of specialized thermal parameters.
