Competences and skills that will be acquired and learning results - Design a data acquisition system to fit some specific thermal process application. - Measurement of errors and uncertainty associated to industrial monitoring. - Identify the most suitable signal analysis methodology to recover information from measured time series. - Understand the control strategies used in conventional control systems found in industrial thermal processes. - To characterize a control loop using the dynamic analysis by transient response. Learning outcome At the end of the course program the students will be able to design a monitoring and control system to fit a specific industrial or research application within the framework of thermal processes. The design should include the description of the instrumentation to fulfill the minimum data acquisition requirements of the control systems, the control strategy to be used, and the digital signal processing to be applied on the collected signals.
