Question

Write a review paper of one measurement technique (any device you feel interested in or have experience with), which could be what I have learned in Measurement Engineering course (Mechanical Engineering : uncertainty, probability and statistics, basic circuits, ac and dc, adc dac conveter, 1st and 2nd order systems, tmeperture measurement).
The main content should include how it operates, its application, changes in design with time, and future direction. Although I have to focus on recent and future development.

Would you give me any examples of devices or suggest essay topics with temperture measurement ?

 

Answer 1

As a Mechanical Engineer I would suggest you about the Thermocouple which is a temperature measuring device based on seebeck effect. Now we can find an integrated telemetric temperature sensor which incorporates the embedded thermocouple, in conjunction with the transmission of wireless signals, developed by ACTARUS. This design incorporates all transmission modules on the tool and tool holder section of the rotating system.A wireless temperature measurement system was developed and integrated into a cutting tool holder via a thermocouple embedded within the cutting tool. The primary purpose of such an embedded thermal measurement sensor/system is for online process monitoring of machining processes within which thermal damage poses a significant threat both for the environment and productivity alike. The components of the wireless telemetry system which enable the transmission of voltage, produced by way of the Seebeck effect, from a spindle and tool. The principle components of this sensor design are; 1) Signal input and conditioning; 2) Transmission module; 3) Receiver module; 4) Processing module. In this system of components, the signal received from the input thermocouple sensor embedded in the tool is connected to a thermocouple module which allows for cold junction referencing, amplification and filtering of the analogue voltage signal. The signal is then transferred to a transmission (ADC) module which converts the analogue signal to a digital pulse code modulated (PCM) representative signal.

So I would suggest you to look for this thermocouple and read about development in the field of thermocouple. You can also search in sciencedirect.com. Here you will find journals related to all reseach taking place all around the world.
