Pressure distribution measurements are made on a two-dimensional wing model placed in a wind tunnel. The difference between the static pressure sockets on the surface and the static pressure of the free stream is measured. 30 data is taken at each measurement point. The average of the values measured from one of the sockets near the trailing edge was calculated as 2.30 Pa, and the standard deviation was calculated as 2.65 Pa. After applying the Chauvenet criterion to these measurement values, it was decided to eliminate 3 measurements and the new mean value was found to be 2.18 Pa and the standard deviation was 2.42. It was verified that the unexcluded data fit the normal distribution curve. Data above how many Pa and below how many Pa were eliminated? Estimate how many data have negative value (?<0) after elimination.
Theory and Design for Mechanical Measurements
Measurement is a term that refers to analyzing a manufactured component regarding the degree of accuracy for dimensions, tolerances, geometric profile, roundness, flatness, smoothness, etc. Measurement always involves comparing the manufactured component or the prototype with a standard specimen whose dimensions and other parameters are assumed to be perfect and do not undergo changes with respect to time.Precisely in mechanical engineering the branch that deals with the application of scientific principles for measurements is known as metrology. The domain of metrology in general deals with various measurements like mechanical, chemical, thermodynamic, physical, and biological measurements. In mechanical engineering, the measurements are limited to mechanical specific such as length, mass, surface profile, flatness, roundness, viscosity, heat transfer, etc.
Basic principles of engineering metrology
Metrology is described as the science of measurement, precision, and accuracy. In other words, it is a method of measurement based on units and predefined standards.
