Assignment - 1 (Response of Mercury Thermometer) : Time, Sec Thermometer Reading, C

The document is an assignment on analyzing the response of a mercury thermometer when placed in environments with different temperatures. It contains 5 questions: 1. Analyze temperature data from a mercury thermometer placed in a 205°C oil bath to estimate its time constant. 2. Calculate the temperature difference between a thermometer and bath over time as the bath temperature increases linearly. 3. Estimate the length of time a thermometer was in a 205°C oil bath based on its reading after being removed and exposed to 25°C air. 4. Determine the unit step response of a process given its unit impulse response function. 5. Rewrite the sinusoidal response of a first order system

(Response of Mercury Thermometer)

1. A Mercury thermometer which has been on a table for some time, is registering the room temperature,
25 oC. Suddenly, it is placed in a 205 oC oil bath. The following data re obtained for the response of the
thermometer.

Time, Sec Thermometer


Reading, oC

2.5 65
5 96
8 124
10 139
15 165
30 196
Give two independent estimates of the thermometer time constant.
2. A thermometer having a time constant of 0.2 min is placed in a temperature bath, and after the
thermometer comes to equilibrium with the bath, the temperature of the bath is increased linearly with
time at a rate of 1o/min. What is the difference between the indicated temperature and the bath
temperature

(a) 0.1 min


(b) 1.0 min after the change in temperature begins?
(c) What is the maximum deviation between indicated temperature and bath temperature, and
when does it occur?
3. The mercury thermometer of is allowed to come to equilibrium in the room temp at 25 oC. Then it is
immersed in a oil bath(at 205 oC) for a length of time less than 1 sec and quickly removed from the bath
and are exposed to 25 oC ambient condition. It may be estimated that the heat transfer coefficient to the
thermometer in air is 1/5th that in oil bath. If 10 sec after the thermometer is removed from the bath it
reads 37.68 oC. Estimate the length of time that the thermometer was in the bath.(Time constant for
thermometer in oil bath is 10 second)

4. A process of unknown transfer function is subjected to a unit impulse input. The output of the process
-t
is measured accurately and is found to be represented by the function Y(t) = t e . Determine the unit
step response in this process.

5. Rewrite the sinusoidal response of first order system in terms of a cosine wave. Re express the
sinusoidal forcing function equation as a cosine wave and compute the phase difference between input
and output cosine wave.
