ES 451  Fall 2022  Assignment 2  Weight 2%  Due: 12 Oct 22 


 

CLO2: Analyze and design sensors/actuators for various applications. 
1. A 100-Ω platinum RTD is being used to measure temperature in an oven.
The present resistance is 122 Ω. Find the temperature.
2. A 10-kΩ pot is used as a position sensor with a 10-V supply. The input
resistance to the interface circuit is 50 kΩ. Find the loading error when the
pot is in the middle of its range.
3. A toothed-rotor sensor has 30 teeth. Find the rpm if the sensor outputs pulses
at 100 Hz.
4. The counter for a 500-slot incremental optical rotary encoder has a value of
101100011.
a. What is the resolution in degrees—that is, what is the value of the
LSB?
b. What is the current angle of the encoder shaft?
5. A 350° pot is connected through a 4 : 1 gear ratio to a shaft that rotates 80°
(the pot rotates four times further than the shaft). The pot has a supply
voltage of 5 V and feeds to an 8-bit ADC converter. The ADC has a
reference voltage of 5 V. The LSB of the ADC is to be 0.4° or smaller. Will
this system meet the requirements?
6. When an 80-kg man gets in his car, the car body sinks 2 cm. What is the
spring constant for the suspension system of the car? [Hint: Remember to
convert the 80-kg mass into a weight using W = mg.)
7. An iron-constantan thermocouple is referenced at 32°F and has an output
voltage of 45 mV. What is the temperature at the hot junction?

8. Followings are the excerpts from the specifications of a laser displacement
sensor:
a. Measurement range: ±10mm
b. Measurement point: 40mm
c. Resolution: 3μm
d. Linearity: 1% Full Scale
e. Response time: 0.15ms
f. Linear output: 4-20mA

i. Suppose, the distance between the sensor and the object is


33mm. Then what would be output in mA?
ii. What is the error due to nonlinearity under the above condition?
iii. Find out the sensitivity of the sensor in mA/mm.
