| Summary: | This paper describes a method for increasing the accuracy and precision of temperature measurements of a liquid based on the central limit theorem. A thermometer immersed in a liquid exhibits a response with determined accuracy and precision. This measurement is integrated with an instrumentation and control system that imposes the behavioral conditions of the central limit theorem (CLT). The oversampling method exhibited an increasing measurement resolution. Through periodic sampling of large groups, an increase in the accuracy and formula of the increase in precision is developed. A measurement group sequencing algorithm and experimental system were developed to obtain the results of this system. Hundreds of thousands of experimental results are obtained and seem to demonstrate the proposed idea’s validity. |
