Q.1. The volume flow rate of a liquid is calculated by allowing the liquid to flow into a

cylindrical tank (stood on its flat end) and measuring the height of the liquid surface before
and after the liquid has flowed for 10 minutes. The volume collected after 10 minutes is
given by:
Volume =(h2 - h1) (d/2) 2
where h1 and h2 are the starting and finishing surface heights and d is the measured diameter
of the tank.
(a) If h1 = 2m, h2 = 3m and d = 2m, calculate the volume flow rate in m3/min.
(b) If the possible error in each measurement h1, h2 and d is 1%, determine the likely
maximum possible error in the calculated value of volume flow rate.
Q2. Explain the working of L.V.D.T. with a neat sketch and state its application.
Q.3. Define Gauge factor of a Strain gauge and also derive an expression for it.
Q.4. Write short note on
i) Nozzle- Flapper Transducer
ii) Load cells
iii) Digital encoders
Q.5. Write a note on capacitive transducers.
Q.6. What are the different temperature effects and the compensation used in strain gauge
bridges?
