The laws of thermodynamics in measurements

  • General Problems of Metrology and Measurement Technique
  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

The process of obtaining measurement information is considered in terms of a Carnot information cycle. The possibility of using the laws of thermodynamics for solving measurement quality control problems as general laws of metrology, rather than as particular laws for given kinds of measurement, is considered.
