USES OF UNCERTAINTY ANALYSIS () Provide the only known basis for deciding whether Data agrees with theory Tests from different facilities get engine performance)agree Hypothesis has been appropriately assessed (resolved) Phenomena measured are real Provide basis for defining whether a closure check has been achieved s continuity satisfied (does the same amount of mass go in as goes out?) Is energy conserved? Provide an integrated grasp of how to conduct the experiment [Adapted from Kline, S.J., 1985, "The Purposes of Uncertainty Analysis", ASME J Fluids Engineering, pp 153-1605 USES OF UNCERTAINTY ANALYSIS (II) • Provide the only known basis for deciding whether: – Data agrees with theory – Tests from different facilities (jet engine performance) agree – Hypothesis has been appropriately assessed (resolved) – Phenomena measured are real • Provide basis for defining whether a closure check has been achieved – Is continuity satisfied (does the same amount of mass go in as goes out?) – Is energy conserved? • Provide an integrated grasp of how to conduct the experiment [Adapted from Kline, S.
