Expansion of the Range of Refrigeration of the Surface Heat Flow Unit Under Conductive Energy Produce

Abstract

The article presents the results of investigations of factors that influence the accuracy of reproduction of the unit of measurement of the surface density of the heat flow by conductivity. Components of the uncertainty of the surface heat flux density measurement were analyzed using the Ishikawa cause-and-effect diagram, as shown in Fig. 1 The mathematical model of the method of reproduction of the unit of measurement was obtained, which takes into account the influence of the sources of uncertainty by making the corresponding corrections. The possibility of extending the lower boundary of the dynamic range by the correction of the factors having the greatest influence is substantiated. The rationale is based on the estimation of the uncertainty of the individual components, which, in the course of the correction of their impact, should not exceed the values (achieved to date). As an example, the calculation of the total uncertainty in the reproduction of the heat flux density of 20 W·m-2 is given. Table 1 contains all data important for the uncertainty analysis such as input quantities, their estimated values as well as the associated sensitivity coefficients and the variances determined.
