HIGH-ACCURACY HEAT FLOW MEASUREMENT BY USING A QUICK APPROXIMATE ALGORITHM

Abstract

This paper analyzes the problems of heat flow measurement and identifies the parameters the correction of which is necessary to obtain the accuracy specified. The empirical expressions describing the methods of calculating the correction are integrated into a unified system and approximate algorithms are presented that, while ensuring the same accuracy, require significantly less time for the calculation; therefore, in addition to the measuring data acquisition systems used for accounting purposes, they are well suitable to be used in low-power intelligent far-end systems as well.
