TITTLE: TEMPERATURE SENSOR

INTRODUCTION:

Temperature sensors are devices used to measure the temperature of a medium. There
are 2 kinds on temperature sensors: 1) contact sensors and 2) noncontact sensors. However, the
3 main types are thermometers, resistance temperature detectors, and thermocouples. All three
of these sensors measure a physical property (i.e. volume of a liquid, current through a wire),
which changes as a function of temperature. In addition to the 3 main types of temperature
sensors, there are numerous other temperature sensors available for use.

Contact Sensors

Contact temperature sensors measure the temperature of the object to which the sensor is
in contact by assuming or knowing that the two (sensor and the object) are in thermal
equilibrium, in other words, there is no heat flow between them.

 Thermometers
 Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs)
 Thermocouples

Noncontact Sensors

Most commercial and scientific noncontact temperature sensors measure the thermal
radiant power of the Infrared or Optical radiation received from a known or calculated area on
its surface or volume within it. An example of noncontact temperature sensors is a pyrometer.

THERMOMETERS

Thermometers are the most common temperature sensors encountered in simple,


everyday measurements of temperature. Two examples of thermometers are the Filled System
and Bimetal thermometers.
1. Filled System Thermometer

The familiar liquid thermometer consists of a liquid enclosed in a tube. The volume of
the fluid changes as a function of temperature. Increased molecular movement with increasing
temperature causes the fluid to expand and move along calibrated markings on the side of the
tube.

2. Bimetal Thermometer

In the bimetal thermometer, two metals (commonly steel and copper) with different
thermal expansion coefficients are fixed to one another with rivets or by welding. As the
temperature of the strip increases, the metal with the higher thermal expansion coefficients
expands to a greater degree, causing stress in the materials and a deflection in the strip.
RESISTANCE TEMPERATURE DETECTORS

A second commonly used temperature sensor is the resistance temperature detector


(RTD, also known as resistance thermometer). Unlike filled system thermometers, the RTD
provides an electrical means of temperature measurement, thus making it more convenient for
use with a computerized system. An RTD utilizes the relationship between electrical resistance
and temperature, which may either be linear or nonlinear. RTDs are traditionally used for their
high accuracy and precision.

THERMOCOUPLES

Another temperature sensor often used in industry is the thermocouple. Among the
various temperature sensors available, the thermocouple is the most widely used sensor.
Similar to the RTD, the thermocouple provides an electrical measurement of temperature.

RESULT:

Result 1: The input is 0°C. The output is 32°F.

0°C is indicate the temperature for freezing point of water.

Result 2: The input is 20°C. The output is 68.07°F.

20°C is indicate the temperature for room temperature.


Result 3: The input is 100°C. The output is 213.23°F.

100°C is indicate the temperature for boiling point of water.


DISCUSSION:

Based on this lab, we can discuss about the result of the temperature sensor. In this lab,
we converted the unit of temperature which is from Celsius (C) to Fahrenheit (F). Proteus 8
Professional is used to perform the drawing and the simulation of the circuit. There are 4 major
component used in this simulation such as Arduino UNO, LM35 Temperature Sensor, LCD
and Virtual Terminal. Arduino is used to program the calculation of temperature converter from
Celsius to Fahrenheit. LM35 is used as a temperature sensor which is it can be adjust the value
indicates the temperature in medium. LCD and Virtual Terminal to show the changing of the
unit. The schematic circuit is drawn refer on the links provided. Subsequently, the provided
code is added on the Arduino UNO and the Run button is clicked. Based on the result, there
are three different result represent three temperature on freezing point of water, room
temperature and boiling point of water. The formula of the Celsius to Fahrenheit is (0°C × 9/5)
+ 32. Purpose of this lab is to produce the value from temperature sensor which is from a unit
to another. Secondly, to examine the precision value produced by the sensor through the
Arduino. Other result can be produced by change the value at temperature sensor and the result
value will display.

CONCLUSION:

In conclusion, we are able to use Proteus 8 Professional to produce a circuit and do a


simulation on temperature sensor. Besides, we also know how to install the component library
inside the Proteus. We also knew the function of component that we used in this this lab. We
also able to use Arduino to create a coding for program the simulation. Theoretically,
temperature sensors are vital to a variety of everyday products. For example, household ovens,
refrigerators, and thermostats all rely on temperature maintenance and control in order to
function properly. While temperature is generally sensed by humans as “hot”, “neutral”, or
“cold”, chemical engineering requires precise, quantitative measurements of temperature in
order to accurately control a process. In this lab, we used LM35 as a temperature sensor to
sense the temperature of a medium. It can be adjust the value indicate the temperature of
medium. Finally, we also learned about how to link the part in the circuit and how to do so.
