1- A Temperature sensor has a static transfer function of 0.15 mV/C and a time constant of 3.3 s. If a step change of 22C to 50C is applied at t=0. Find the output voltages at 0.5 s , 2.0 s , 3.3 s. What the indicated temperature at these times? 2- A pressure sensor measures 44 psi just before a sudden change to 70 psi. The sensor measures 52 psi at a time 4.5 sec after the change. What is the sensor time constant? 3- A photocell with a 35 ms time constant is used to measure light flashes. How long after a sudden dark to light flash before the cell output is 80% of the final value? 4- An alarm light goes ON when a pressure sensor voltage rises above 4.00 volts. The pressure sensor outputs 20 mV/KPa and has a time constant of 4.9 seconds. How long after the pressure rises suddenly from 100 KPa to 400 KPa does the light go ON? 5- A pressure sensor has a resistance that changes with pressure according to R=(0.15K/psi)P+2.5K. This resistance is then converted to a voltage with the transfer function V= The sensor time constant is 350 ms. At t=0 the pressure changes suddenly from 40psi to 150psi. A)What is the voltage output at 0.5 sec? What is the indicated pressure at this time? B)At What time does the output reach 5.0 volts? 6- At t=0 a temperature sensor was suddenly changed from 25C to 100C. The sensor outputs voltages given by the expression V=(0.06 V/C)[T-20C]. The table below gives the voltages measured and times. Determine the average time constant of the sensor. t(Seconds) 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 V(volts) 0.3 1.8 2.8 3.4 3.9 4.2
