the essential requirement for measurement? What is SI unit? Give two example of any electrical parameter. What are derived units? Give two examples of any Electrical parameters. Assignment 1. A tungsten/5% rheniumtungsten/26% rhenium thermocouple has an output e.m.f. as shown in the following table when its hot (measuring) junction is at the temperatures shown. Determine the sensitivity of measurement for the thermocouple in mV/C. 2. (a) An instrument is calibrated in an environment at a temperature of 20C and the following output readings y are obtained for various input values x: Determine the measurement sensitivity, expressed as the ratio y/x. (b) When the instrument is subsequently used in an environment at a temperature of 50C, the input/output characteristic changes to the following:
Determine the new measurement
sensitivity. Hence determine the sensitivity drift due to the change in ambient temperature of 30C. 3. A load cell is calibrated in an environment at a temperature of 21C and has the following deflection/load characteristic:
When used in an environment at 35C, its
characteristic changes to the following:
Determine the sensitivity at 21C and
35C. Calculate the total zero drift and sensitivity drift at 35C. Hence determine the zero drift and sensitivity drift coefficients (in units of m/C and (m per kg)/(C)). A tungsten resistance thermometer with range of -270 to +1100 C has quoted inaccuracy of 1.5% of full-scale reading. What is the likely measurement error when it is reading a temperature of 950 C? A batch of steel rods is manufactured to a nominal length of 5 meters with a quoted tolerance of 2%. What is the longest and shortest length of rod to be expected in the batch? Assignment Write any four causes of error in measurements. What are the types of systematic errors? Give an example of an instruments (or system) and highlight the Desired Input, Interfering Input and Modifying Input. In what ways experimental measurement readings are taken from large data. Assignment The wheatstone bridge shown in figure 3.6. calculate the unknown resistance, assuming the bridge is in balanced condition. (25K)
In Example(i), calculate the bridge output
voltage when measuring a pressure of 3bar. 3. Consider a platinum resistance thermometer with a range of 0to 50C, whose resistance at 0C is 200 and whose resistance varies with temperature at the rate of 4/C. Draw and compare its linearity curve for following cases:
Case (i): where R1=R2=R3 =200 and Vi
=10 V Case (ii): where R1=200 but R2=R3 =2000 and Vi =10 V Case (ii): where R1=200 but R2=R3 =2000 and Vi =20 V Assignment How high value of resistance can be measured? Why it can not be measured by simple wheatstone bridge? Assignments Example 3.14, 3.19,3.14, 3.23
