Assignment 1

(10 students in a group and due date: 10/10/2016EC) Maximum Weight 10%

Directions: for all problems refer to John P. Bentley Emeritus Professor of Measurement
Systems University of Teesside

1. The e.m.f. at a thermocouple junction is 645 µV at the steam point, 3375 µV at the zinc point
and 9149 µV at the silver point. Given that the e.m.f.–temperature relationship is of the form
E(T) = a1T + a2T 2 + a3T 3 (T in °C), find a1, a2 and a3.
2. The resistance R() of a thermistor at temperature K is given by R() = α exp(β/). Given
that the resistance at the ice point (= 273.15 K) is 9.00 kΩ and the resistance at the steam
point is 0.50 kΩ, find the resistance at 25 °C.
3. A platinum resistance sensor is to be used to measure temperatures between 0 and 200 °C.
Given that the resistance RT Ω at T °C is given by RT = R0(1 + αT + βT2) and R0 = 100.0, R100
= 138.50, R200 = 175.83 Ω, calculate:
a) The values of α and β;
b) The non-linearity at 100 °C as a percentage of full-scale deflection.
4. The resistance R kΩ of a thermistor at K is given by:

The thermistor is incorporated into the deflection bridge circuit shown in Figure for problem 4
below:
a) Assuming that VOUT is measured with a detector of infinite impedance, calculate:
i. The range of VOUT corresponding to an input temperature range of 0 to 50 °C;
ii. The non-linearity at 12 °C as a percentage of full-scale deflection.
b) Calculate the effect on the range of VOUT of reducing the detector impedance to 1 kΩ.
