 Steinhart-Hart equation: T =a+ b . ln ( R )+ ¿ c . ln ( R ) ¿ (1)

 a,b,c are parameters that are chosen to fit the equation to the
resistance characteristic.
 R is the thermistor resistance (Ω).
 T is the thermistor temperature (°K).
1 1
 β− parameter equation : R = R0.e β .( T − ¿ ) (2)

 R0 is the thermistor resistance at temperature T0.


 Β is a curve fitting parameter.

Problem 1

a,

R0 = 3750 Ω; R = 1850 Ω; T = 50 + 273 = 323 K; T0 = 30 + 273 = 303 K

Apply equation (2): β = ln(R/R0) / ¿) = 3458

b, The sensitivity of a thermistor,

 α = - 3458/(20 + 273)2 = - 0.0403

c, When T increases then the sensitivity increases.

Problem 2

a = A = 1.1252*10-3 K-1

3
b = B = 2.3478*10-4 K-1

c = C = 8.5262*10-8 K-1

R = 4000 Ω

Apply equation (1): T = 1/(a+ b . ln ( R )+ ¿ c . ln 3 ( R ) ¿) = 320.3974 K = 47.3974 °C

Problem 3

a = A = 1.1252*10-3 K-1

b = B = 2.3478*10-4 K-1

c = C = 3.5262*10-8 K-1

R = 2800 Ω

Apply equation (1): T = 1/(a+ b . ln ( R )+ ¿ c . ln 3 ( R ) ¿) = 332.627 K = 59.627 °C

Problem 5

R = R0e-0.1T

R0 = 20000 Ω

T = 20 °C

Let R changed by ΔR for ΔT change in temperature, therefore

R+ΔR=R0e−0.1(T + ΔT ) , and

R=R0e−0.1 T

We write in this form,

ΔR = (R+ ΔR) – R

 ΔR =R0e−0.1T (e¿ ¿−0.1 ΔT−1)¿

4
Since ΔT is very small, we can use the linear approximation e− x =1−x

Therefore, ΔR =R0e−0.1T (1−0.1 Δ T −1)

 ΔR= - R00.1 ΔT e−0.1T


 ΔR= - 135.33 Δ T

Problem 6

6.1

6.2

α = 36 µV

T2 = 25 °C, T1 = 75 °C

The Seebeck voltage can be found as follows:

Vab = α(T1-T2) = 1800 µV = 1.8 mV

6.3

From Type K Thermocouple table, we see that Vm = 10.1 mv lies between Vl =


10.031 mv and Vh = 10.153 mv, with corresponding temperatures of Tl = 247°C
and Th = 250°C, respectively. We can find an approximate value of temperature by
using the following interpolation equation:

5
250−247
( )
=> Tm = 247 + 10.153−10.031 ( 10.1−10.031 )=248.7 °C

6.4

From Type J Thermocouple table, we see that Vm = 19.5 mv lies between Vl =


19.366 mv and Vh = 19.642 mv, with corresponding temperatures of Tl = 355°C
and Th = 360°C, respectively. We can find an approximate value of temperature by
using the following interpolation equation:

360−355
( )
=> Tm = 355 + 19.642−19.366 ( 19.5−19.366 )=357.4 °C

6.5

The isothermal terminal block is effectively removed electrically from the circuit,
so the temperature of the cold junction is the temperature of the terminal block.

6.6

Apply the Callendar-Van Dusen equation:

Since T is greater than 0°C, β = 0, the Callendar-Van Dusen equation reduces to


the following:

80 80
 R = R0 + 0.00392R0[80 – 1.49( 100 −1¿ 100 = 1.3145R0
R
 R 0 =1.3145

Problem 8

8.1

R0 = 106 Ω

α = 0.004

Δ T =¿ T1 – T0 = 25 -20 °C

RT = R0(1+α ΔT ¿=108.12Ω

8.5

From Type J Thermocouple table, we see that Vm = 22.5 mv lies between Vl =


22.4 mv and Vh = 22.565 mv, with corresponding temperatures of Tl = 410°C and
Th = 413°C, respectively. We can find an approximate value of temperature by
using the following interpolation equation:

413−410
( )
=> Tm = 410 + 22.565−22.4 ( 22.5−22.4 )=411.8°C
